D:\Internet\Download\FreePascal_Lazarus>objconv -fcoff SPROMEPS.obj SPROMEPS.coff Input file: SPROMEPS.obj, output file: SPROMEPS.coff Converting from OMF32 to COFF32 Warning 1211: 270 comment records ignored 0 Debug sections removed 0 Exception sections removed So now, I changed the line in SPROMEPS.pas from: {$L SPROMEPS.OBJ} { LINK WITH THE SUPERPRO OBJECT FILE } to {$L SPROMEPS.coff} { LINK WITH THE SUPERPRO OBJECT FILE } and the original error disappeared!

The warning about the $F switch concerns a setting to force far calls, what is the equivalent in FPC? And I am not sure that COFF is the correct file type to link against... Have to look back on all the posts here and find what is recommended. But now is dinner time and I will quit for a while.
