Many thanks for your interest and the pointers (error messages) to where my problem lay.
I had not wished to go fully to design compilation and was only examining the .vhd file.
After your message I carefully reconstructed the .vhd via the 'File' and wizard using a new tab delimited source.
On close examination of the resulting .vhd I was more optimistic of the outcome and generated a bare-bones project.
This compiled without error (a few warnings mostly expected) so I am happier to proceed.
I must now implement this with the rest of my design - may take a while.
If successful I hope to have some space left to add another design to the same device but just getting this design in a smaller device would be good. (The bare-bones does seem to need quite a lot of other resources)
To summarise : I think my main problem was trying to make sense of the rather sparse instructions as to how to generate the source file and lack of error messages up to the stage I got to. ( My original source was two blocks of 8bit data which I had to process using Excel and Notepad both to merge and format - once I knew what the required format was! - lots of search and replace)
I'm still not sure of the first block of '1's in the .vhd file but I may not need to know.
If I will have problems later I don't know but many thanks for your help to now.
