FOO, BAR & FOOBAR stand for "Anything you want". Like the * in *.*, *.C, *.CPP. But since you could for example issue a copy *.C *.EXE, you write FOO if you only mean one file - copy FOO.C FOO.EXE..... The gcc-commands can be seen whenb you type "gcc --help" or "gcc -h". That's TWO dashes for "--help"! About people using no subjects....scr*w them. I don't like this either...:-( CU, Tiger - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
