Many "syntax error" errors. Array and SQR() related?

[Fuzzillogic]

I've tried using BACON to compile the output of TracerBlender. Unfortunately, I get many syntax error messages. Remarkable: the errors differ between the ASCII and binary variants of the file.

Here is the BASIC file I used to test. It's the direct output of the default scene of TracerBlender, but with the "MSX Basic-kun Turbo" (i.e. XBASIC) option switched off, so that the output is truly just plain MSX BASIC. (remove the .txt part, GH wouldn't allow me uploading it as .bas):

tracer_ascii.bas.txt

Since I use Kubuntu 25.10, I compiled BACON myself using make all. This went without warnings or errors, so great!

I used the resulting binary to compile my BASIC file. Here's the result:

$ ./msx_bacon tracer_ascii.bas tracer.asm

These errors seem to relate with SQR().

Then I converted the ascii version to plain binary BASIC format, by loading and then saving the file using an emulated MSX turbo R in OpenMSX.

I'd expect to get the same errors, but no, I get more!

The "new" errors seem array-related.

(Incidentally, not all command line options are functional: the target types (-msx -msx2p etc) and output types are currently not functional.)
