Hey Gene, what's os9p4?
I do agree that you at least compile/assemble new code.  When I'm hacking 
away at 6 different modules of UME, I typically compile each one before going on 
to the next one, so any compiler warnings will come while I'm still thinking 
of what I just did.

On the Coco or MM/1, that means I always keep the compiler going in a 
separate window from my editing (gotta love multi-tasking).  Under Linux, gcc is so 
fast I just issue a "make whatever.o" shell line from within Emacs.  --Mike K.
