It's time to give that a second thought, IMHO.

Last release one output file was created by a simple C++ source. In the
current release I also have to put some data from ORACLE into the output.
I renamed the file from *.cpp to *.pc so that the make rules work OK.

So far I didn't have to merge a change. Maybe the last release was perfect
and I will never have. But it was not an accident. OK, I could create a
new .pc to store functions that the .cpp could call, but this is just
a way around the problem.

You don't want to admit that the problem does exist.

Gee
