• Some Programs Cannot Find a File.
  
  
• The Compiler Seems to Generate Incorrect Code.
  
  
• The code seems to be correct, but the application does not work.
  
  
• The linker cannot handle an object file.
  
  
• The make Utility does not Make the entire Application.
  
  
• The make utility unnecessarily re-compiles a file.
  
  
• The help file cannot be opened by double clicking on it in the File Manager or in the Explorer.
