Re: What the compiler does, or not?

Scott,

The quote came from your post, but it was not intended as a personal attack. I 
think Dave gave a reasonable answer. It is similar to spool file or spooled 
file (mentioned a couple of  months ago).

Besides, I liked your typo; it has a comical notation: "the system does it 
automagically."

Regards,
