This distribution of BlackBox uses .cp extension as default for storage of source code files in UTF-8 encoding instead of .odc . Hence you should install CpcUtf8Conv from www.zinnamturm.eu . Otherwise you cannot build from sources. Now you should be able to open source code encoded in UTF-8 (document type: *.cp). Verify it that in opened module Kernel(.cp) at procedure SplitName you see a non-ASCII characters.

Open module StdDialog, locate procedure GetSubLoc and change line ELSE type := "" to ELSE type := "cp" then compile module.

Restart BlackBox and open document at Dev/Docu/BuildTool and run build command. When everything compiled, file BlackBox2.exe should be created. Name BlackBox2.exe is used intentionally so it will not conflict with existing BlackBox.exe.

As last action, copy all missing resource files (Rsrc) and documentation (Docu) from original distribution of BlackBox. Check that you have a required run-time dependencies and you are ready.
