I think my question basically originates in my not knowing how to
properly compile. My programming up to this point has only been on
windows.. command line compiling was just 'bcpp32 <filename>.cpp' and
GUI compiling was from a button ;). So I am just plain ignorant of the
whole makefile and compile line options etc etc..
Well.. not ignorant per se.. I know there are such things.. I just don't
actually know much about how to do it all.. but I am learning.. just not
fast enough for my own wishes!! ;)

thanks for your comments though.. I will file them away for use very
soon :)

would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
