My apologies for this. I have someone who is in the middle of a very large
BDE to IBO conversion and I am trying to make things overall more flexible.
It really is a challenge.

I don't understand why you are having these two problems that well. I wonder
if your packages are properly rebuilt after applying source changes?

Please let me know and keep me updated.
