Hi all, OK, after a bit more research, here's what I found....for some reason, in the file(s) that don't work (in FC9...all the files work in WinXP), I have "date and/or time stamps" (i.e. U 48B746AA, U 48B746ACU, 48B746AE, U 48B746B0, U 48B746B2, U 48B746B4 each in various files) located in a $Sheet definition for that schematic. It would seem the FC9 version of KiCad is not comfortable with that. I removed these "U" defs and that seemed to fix the "abort" message. One other thing I noticed, however, is that a number of my wire labels in those .sch files I fixed are now turned 180 degrees (aligned in the opposite direction). This I can fix, but it certainly has been an inconvenience....
