So far, I have about six different source files. When I compiled them, and then tried to link the object files, I got a "expanding file names made the line too long" message from the Orca Shell. Is there a limit on the number of files that can be linked? How do I get around this problem without combining source files? Can object files be combined prior to linking? Can linking be done in stages? __________________________________________________________ | | | Alan H.
