 Ok... I was able to speed my compile time earlier with the help of this
newsgroup.  I have realized that as my program compiles faster 
I program quicker.  But as I program more code, my compile time
lengthens, and I eventually hit an asymptotical point where it
takes forever for me to get anything done...

My program is 110k+ and it takes a while to compile. Most of it doesn't
change per re-use though. I was wondering if I could parts of it
into objects.  I tries this on my own for about 8 hours with little
sucess. I got a few minor things to run, but when I tried to 'objectify'
my massive amount of code, it gave me errors that looked something like
: Repeated code found in line such and such.  This error isn't exact,
but its been a couple days since I tried it.  Now I sincerely need
a speed boost, and I was wondering. If the objects are per-compiled,
would this speed up the time it takes me to compile and
test an executable. Sorry for the mega newbie question.
I just normally put all my code in one file.. but that isn't cutting
it...  This sounds dumb, but I really have a small clue about how 
objects work... Does the compiler make objects, and then the linker 
puts them together?
