Thank you.

I know this is most probably off-topic for this ng, but do you have any 
idea what the error "multiple definition on...." could indicate?
Problem is that if I run a stand-alone program that does the same job it 
shows no errors and runs fine. (I posted this with code and errors to 
alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++, but no response yet.)
