Hey, thanks to all who've helped me with my previous barrages of 
questions.  The help has been much appreciated!  My programs 
coming along nicely now.

Now, I have a C++ question, I'm not sure if it's DJGPP or just C++,
anyways, here is what I did:

I created a class called UGL_BITMAP in a file called ugl_bitmap.h.
I defined ALL the procedures (including constructor and destructor)
in ugl_bitmap.cc and they were ALL inlined.

I inserted the compiled class into a library.

When I linked with the library, I got undefined references to 
UGL_BITMAP and all it's procedures.

I added a procedure void Dummy() to the class, I did NOT inline
it, recompiled, reinserted it into the library, and the program linked
fine.

My question:  Why is this so?  Is this a quirk of GPP or DJGPP?
Or are you not allowed to inline all functions of a class when it's
inserted into a library file?  This strikes me as being very odd....
