ok... i'll remove it from the directory tree and try again... i wasn't aware 
that it would go to that depth...

i'll take a look at this... i've always compiled lazarus in debug mode... i 
guess i'll have to also add FPC-trunk to my setup...

i'm sure... but i can't tell if it is a bug in lazarus or if it is something 
triggered by an abort in the conversion... i got rid of anchordocking because of 
the heaptrc bugs that would popup at times and i was wanting to see if that was 
causing another problem but i don't recall now what that problem was :?
