compiled program’s date and time stamp

[Dan Jinks]

I have noticed that there are two copies of the application’s compiled program, myapp.smp. The first one is in myappmyapp subdirectory, the second in the myappbin directory. I further noticed they have different date/time stamps, with the bin directory containing an older file. Is this normal? What is the significance of the different versions? -Dan

The one found in the source directory is the compilation of the source
and any included files. The one in the bin directory includes the one
from the source directory plus all of the libraries that are defined as
being part of the project. If you only click on Compile, then it won't
change the file in the bin directory. It is generally best to use Ctrl+B
(Build), since that not only compiles but also creates the ultimate
target in the bin directory including all of the required libraries
(*.sml files).

I not sure that is working for me:
connex50binconnex50.smp 7/29/2011 12:43pm (12:43)
connex50connex50connex50.smp 7/29/2011 10:30pm (22:30)

I have used Ctrl-B liberally in the last hour. I'm pretty sure the bin
version is from just after I deleted it earlier today, when a new file
was created.
