All,

It seems to be the general concensus to maintain multiple files. I greatly
appriciate everyone's input, but I have one more simple question.

I've already been instructed how to package only the needed files to compile
into a tar(Thanks Kevin!). Now, once someone extracts the files and:
$ ../configure
$ make

Shouldn't that be all I need to compile and create the programs executable?
What is the need for
make install
What does it do? I can't seem to find documentation on it. Thanks again
everyone!

Sincerely,
Justin R. Gortner
