Ok I should have read the error message, the problem is with the following 
declaration, not the first:
const
    tprob: double = 0.020000000;
    lprob: double = tprob/1e4;

For legacy reasons these actually declare variables.

Maybe you want

const
    tprob = double(0.02);
    lprob = double(tprob/1e4);

If I remove the types then it compiles, with the types it says "Error: Illegal 
expression” on the second declaration.

I attempted to use a typed constant:

const
tprob : Double = 0.020;

But the compiler (3.2.2) balked as illegal expression.  Am i misreading section 
"2.2  Typed constants” in the reference manual?

Thanks,
Pete
