[Dev-C++] Compiling Separately: Separating Code into Modules ...

[JB M. <jb...@so...>]

Hello,

    I am trying to compile a modular program.  Is there an order to this =
(i.e. if I'm using Borland C++ Compiler at the DOS command  prompt I'd =
have to compile each file separately, but with Dev C++ 4 (an IDE) I'm =
not sure.

    When I try to compile the files separately, I get zero errors but =
zero bytes compiled ... what could be wrong?

    I anybody can explain the procedure to me, I would appreciate it.

Below is the main() function "Main.cpp" which refers to the header and =
implementation files.


TIA
