Larry – For most programs, though, I feel that keeping all the source in one file helps to maintain clarity. I have a little trouble, for example, with some of the source files I've dl'd that are so split up into seperate modules that I can't follow what's being done. I tend to think of compiling seperate modules for those TYPEs and PROCEDUREs that I feel will be re-usable in a variety of programs. Most of the Modula-2 text extoll the virtues of seperate compilation explaining how well they hide the implementation details from the programmer. Personnally, I'd rather not have all the details hidden from me.
