O.K. Was this file, io_functions.o , compiled on Linux by any chance? Do you
have the source (io_functions.c) lying around so you can re-compile it and
see if you still get link errors?

My suspisions are that this file was indeed compiled on Linux and hense the
linking errors.

This is due to the undefined referrences above.

This comes out because ld could not link the final executable image.

Dont worry about it! :-) Everyone starts somewhere. As long as you learn
from your, well not really but, mistakes then your all the wiser ::::-) I
don't mean this in a bad way what so ever.
