To be honest there's no need to be an expert to convert that, you just need the patience to get rid of all the errors. The debugger tells you exactly where things need to be changed... ;) Most errors are caused due to a slightly changed command set ("Locate" doesn't exist anymore for example) or the compiler being more strict about things. ( I.e. it complains about "File.l" and "File" not being the same type... )

The PB Source Converter might also help to eliminate some of the errors: http://www.purearea.net/pb/showcase/show.php?id=334&d=1 (http://www.purearea.net/pb/showcase/show.php?id=334&d=1)  :whisper:  ;)

I figured out the sound issue in chapter 16
"SoundFrequency" should be "SetSoundFrequency"
It works fine with these changes  ;D
