That's entirely up to you, of course. Those additional LB serial port parameters are one of the few areas of incompatibility between LB 4.04 and LBB, so if you do want to compile your program with LBB you will need to remove them.
But I would have expected that if LB won't open the port then LBB won't open it either. The likely causes (e.g. the port is already in use by another application) will affect both equally.

The port isn't already in use. After all, the other programmes accessing that machine run perfectly and all close their ports.
I have just recompiled it with LB and replaced all the LB support files in the working directory and it now works again. I can only guess at a corrupted support file or the .EXE itself.
Thank you for your help. I'll now study the differences between LB and LBB and try to get it to work in LBB.

Thank you for that. I'll study it further to appreciate the differences between LB and LBB.
