	First off, I see that djgcc needs a 386 or greater (PMMU)
but will the executables that we make with aout2exe need a minimum
of a 386 or will a 286 do fine?

	How are \r for source file carriage returns?  I know dos
is CF and LF, but I do all my C++ work in THINK C++.  Want to write
C++ programs? want to go object oriented? talk to a Macintosh guru :-)
*side note* Prograph should be available for the PCs around X-mas
or sometime later, look for it, it could change your life!

	The reason for this exercise is the local Cavalry club
would like a special taylor made database to run on their 286 dos
computer.  Isn't this what us programmers are for? to help people 
be their best.  (even if they have a piss ass operating system, and
4 bloody registers <<snicker>>)

	How bout makefiles?  I saw a make.ini but nothing along the
lines of make.exe.  Just pulled off a file from the net called     
"mak369bn.zip" is this it?

	I didn't see how to do a makefile readily last night on my
buddy's 486, so I decided to make the object files and link them manually.
This is a pretty small simple program using binary search trees so it's
not that much of a pain.  I wrote a quick "hello world" in C to see if
it compiled, it did.  Now I try:
C:\DJGPP\BIN>gcc -c -o key.o key.cc
and I get:
Bad command or file name
Can't open c:/tmp/cc000061.s for readingfile not found.

	Got any ideas on that one?  I made a tmp directory so it does exist,
there is over 120 megs of disk space available on the machine.

	To cap:
*converting carriage returns is a minor hassle, I'll do it if needed
*make facility?
*"Can't open...readingfile not found" error
*Do executables work on the 286?

	Oh, I looked at the EZ-GCC pages, they mention patches, should I
consider removing all of djgcc and installing EZ-GCC?

	I'm enclosing a makefile, does it look alright?

all: clean cavalry.exe

cavalry.exe: key.o key2.o tree.o invdata.o impdbase.o
        ld -o cavalry key.o key2.o tree.o invdata.o impdbase.o
        aout2exe cavalry
        echo DONE AT LAST


key.o: key.cc key.h
        gcc -c -o key.o key.cc

        gcc -c -o key2.o key2.cc
