that would seem to indicate that it isn't using any thing special from any of
the other modes available... unless you have something specifically set in your
conf file, it is using FPC mode which does not allow classes, interfaces or
exceptions...

do you have the original code available still? it would be best to start a repo
with that and then we can update it with your current code and then go from
there... we can use github or sourceforge for the repo host... right now i
prefer github because it is pretty easy to work with... sourceforge is a little
tougher but both offer git repo hosting...
