Ok, need to find out how.

Thanks, for the comments. I try to address them, I need some doc and 
code reading then. I'm new to your style guide. I hope the code in cvs 
is worth as example ;)


[enterprise:~] andreast% cc -p hello hello.c
consider using `-pg' instead of `-p' with gprof(1)
....

Well it spits some errors, so I guess you're correct regarding the pic

Thanks again,
