Thanks for the reassurance.  I've now un-installed V6.62 and replaced it
with V7.21 on two PCs.  The procedure went fine and I was then able to
re-build three fairly complex projects without any problems.  Even the
Hex output files were identical (they needn't have been, but they were)
which gave me extra confidence.

That won't be a problem.  I need to create new releases of my 18F code
anyway, so I'll just slip in the new directive when I do that.  I had
seen the new "CONFIG" in some code listings, but it didn't register with
me that it was a new directive.  I didn't study it in any detail and I
just assumed that someone had done a #DEFINE CONFIG __CONFIG because
they didn't like underscores.  :-)

My main reason for holding back on SP2 was that I read some postings on
the Microchip forums which appeared to blame it for some problems with
early MPLAB V7.xx releases.  I haven't seen any recent mentions of this,
so I assume that these were either resolved in a later release or were
mis-attributed in the first place.

Many thanks once again.  I'm relieved that, having made the jump, I can
carry on development as if nothing had happened.  Not all upgrades are
that straightforward.
