This is not a USL, but rather an NMOBJ file.  SPLash! is a Native Mode SPL
compiler.  You want to be using the Compatibility Mode SPL compiler with a
command similar to:

SPL bdate,finusl,$null

to compile the SPL portion into the same USL.  You should then be able to PREP
it successfully into a CM executable.
