I left it out because a few posts later my course changed and I'm not trying to compile an existing file with changed names anymore.
Keep up mate, you're getting left behind. As confusing as it may be to those who might be gracious enough to help me, I can't possibly wait helplessly for people to respond. I have to keep trying things and move forward.
As to the argument of whether or not to use an underscore, it isn't my choice. The existing component I'm trying to make a "dummy" of has names with underscores.
The present issue, also mentioned previously in this thread, is that I can't seem to get a working component through the two-step process of using halcompile to preprocess the *.comp file, then 'halcompile --install' the generated C file after changing only one character in the file - the dash to an underscore.
I'll be investigating that one after I submit this. That, or I might do something more useful since this was supposed to be yet another "quick side project".
