C.l.a. is a great place to find help (As I am teaching myself, with help from all of you) As such, I had never used the separate keyword before, therefore never learning the error. c.l.a has now taught me the err of my ways! :) Yes, I was the one who started this thread, and I can admit a mistake. Basically, it seems now that the separate keyword's function is to break down a lenthy file into many small ones, mainly for easier reading, not to speed up developement or help the concept of separate compilation. I think I understand the reasons for it being this way, but although it does meet the letter of the RM, it does seem to violate the spirit of separate compilation. Oh well, it's *not* that big a deal... -- David Morton mailto:dmorton@jinx.sckans.edu http://www.sckans.edu/~dmorton/ 205 College, Winfield, KS 67156 This signature will self-destruct in 10 seconds...
