No, `readme.1st' mentions object *files*, not object *codes*.  I can't 
believe that a person with programming experience doesn't know what 
object file is.  It's those .obj files that the VC++ compiler produces 
when it compiles the C++ source files.  In DJGPP they are called *.o 
instead of *.obj, but the principle is the same.

And please remember that `readme.1st' is just a starter, you are supposed 
to read the docs of the compiler to learn more about its operation and 
optional switches.
