Yeah, I think there are some bugs in the preprocessor that screw up #defines
in code that should not be included (due to an #if or #ifdef).  You can
probably fix this by splitting the ION include file into two different
include files, one for 83 and one for 83+.  Then use an #ifdef at the
beginning of the program to decide which one to include.

Alternatively, setup project build step to call TASM.  Though, I would
resort to this as a last measure, as you'll lose a lot of the features of
Assembly Studio 8x if you do this.

Let me know if this works or doesn't work, and if not, I'll take a look at
later this weekend.
