LOL I wasn't even born in 1980 and I still understood it not even out
of high school. And, no, you weren't trying to explain the difference
between an executable C file and a shell command, I did that to you
after your ignorant post. What you were doing was trying to exert your
superiority over someone who was asking for your help just like you're
doing now. It's posts like this that make me hate using usenet and
interacting with people like you.

I was asking a question about one linking command for a language I
never used before. Your response clearly showed you can't tell the
difference between "test" and "./test" one being a shell command and
one being an executable C file. Why would anyone confuse the two
unless you assume they are of the same intelligence level as you are?
1980? You need to go back to school or something if you can't tell the
difference up to now.
