Larry, I had one of those head slapping moments a week and a half
ago. A piece of scientific code would not untar. I found that
it was trying to create a directory called aux. Silly me, I did
a little experiment from windows, in which I tried to create a
directory names aux, and it would not do it. THEN, I went to the
windows documentation and saw about the reserved nature of aux.
Bottom line: You can't even name a directory aux!
Bottom line #2 - There a whole LOT more Wayne doesn't know than
he does! (Heck, I'm just getting iostream.h - iostream straight)
:-)
