32: Mainline

On Dos systems, you compile and link programs a little differently. Assuming that your program is in a file named box_car.cxx, you produce executable code as follows:

CC -o box_car.exe box_car.cxx 

The file name box_car.exe appears, instead of box_car, because Dos, by convention, requires files containing executable C++ code to have an exe extension.
