I don't mean to lead people down the wrong path... srry!

I said that only because in school, this is how things had to be done. Not because our teachers were bad, but they wanted to avoid confusion, didn't want the grad students checking the programs having to follow special compilation instructions, etc.

What they wanted was to open up "main", click compile & run, and be on their merry way.

I did feel the point of what I wrote was to make a project, I added the bit about the non-project stuff so people can see the difference. I agree with you 100% matsp, but some people, including me, don't like to be told to do something without understanding why, and seeing what the wrong way of doing something is.
