I have received several mail responses to my query, and I thank those people who took the time to write. However, I realized as I read the mail that I neglected to mention the operating system/pascal compiler I was using. I am *not* using 'pc', what I believe is the Berkley pascal compiler. I am using the pascal compiler distributed with the Pyramid OSx system. I checked the man page, and it also uses cpp to pre-process the program, but since I am a novice at C, I would appreciate any sample program that someone could whip up (in Pascal) that used Makefiles, .h files, and #include. Again, thanks to those people who were so prompt in replying to my posting. -Sean Colbath "Dave, why don't you take a stress pill and lie down for a while?"
