No :) (2 syllables if you count the smilely) FWIW, I tried teachin myself C/C++ almost 10 years ago. I doubt I remember enough to write a 'hello world' program now, but then I progressed into learnin classes public and private, hierarchy, etc. Actually wrote some very useful COGO programs I used at work. C is object orientated programming (OOP) and functions, classes, includes, etc. are linked to the app at runtime. So simply put, objprelink'g speeds up runtime with a faster algorithm than is normally used before the start of the program begins, ie, main() [probly more descriptive than accurate] the real story is here http://www.research.att.com/~leonb/objprelink/ -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA
