Re: Separate obj tree

[Greg Spencer]

Sounds like a good idea to me (at least on NT).  On systems with real links,
it's handy to have the source right there to edit (and it doesn't cost
hardly any disk space there either -- no harm, no foul, so I'd leave it).

My NT extensions basically ignore the copied files anyhow (so that
double-clicking on an error in VC++ brings you to the correct copy of the
source file).
