Hey Gerry,

>Typically, "compilers" don't "link"; linkage editors do that, unless you want to contrast static vs dynamic linking ... in either case, neither is done by the compiler. And the "classic Compilers" produced "machine code"; it may be more accurate to call what VFP does "pre-processing" (when it creates FXPs).

True. I guess I just got used to compile and then link as a single process and tended to band them together as "compiling".
