I have received several mail responses to my query, and I thank those people
who took the time to write. However, I realized as I read the mail that I
neglected to mention the operating system/pascal compiler I was using. I
am *not* using 'pc', what I believe is the Berkley pascal compiler. I am using
the pascal compiler distributed with the Pyramid OSx system. I checked the
man page, and it also uses cpp to pre-process the program, but since I am
a novice at C, I would appreciate any sample program that someone could whip
up (in Pascal) that used Makefiles, .h files, and #include. Again, thanks
to those people who were so prompt in replying to my posting.
