If these were MSDOS files, the ".C" would indicate the compiler required is
C, not C++ (Turbo C, for example).  Sorry, I don't know anything about
Unix.

I'm trying to run a program that looks to be written in c or c++ on
my unix account.  I have a file that I ftped from another site.
I was able to unzip and untar the file properly, but
after using an "ls" command I notice a number of "filename.c" files. How
do I link and/or compile these "c" programs? What tools do I need? Any
information would be most appreciated.  Scott
