> Great! I've spent most of the last 5 years coding in C...

I was a C programmer for a number of years.  Couldn't get my head round 
C++; partly because compared to the simplicity of C, C++ just seemed 
like more pain but no gain.  My main gripe when debugging other 
people's C where I worked, was they would typedef everything possible, 
then bury the typedefs at the deepest level of a #include nest, which 
of course was further obfuscated by all the #ifdefs.  Then, not content 
with that, someone else would come along and #define their own symbols 
to hide things further.  The * for indirection never appeared in the 
source, so you'd see something like
if (xyz == 1) ...   and it would take a lot of searching to find the 
definition of xyz.

Funny thing's started happening with C68 (4.24f) on my Q40.  It 
compiles the source with no errors, then reports "could not open 
crt.o".  The file is there, where it should be.  Need to try extracting 
a fresh copy from the zip file, when I get a spare moment...
