If the first time you compiled you did it as root - then there would be an a.out sitting there with root ownership which would not allow a regular user to over write it with a new a.out. As to running it - if you are in the directory that any program is in that you want to manually invoke you must precede the name with ./ or else it wont be found. So you would type: ./a.out and not just a.out ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net
