Can I ask a very quick question? I intend to purchase Lightspeed C soon, but none of the reviews explain in detail how the "project" system works. It is my understanding that a project file holds the *object code* and other book-keeping data, but *not* the source code. This means that (1) I can share source libraries between projects, and (2) any improvements I make to library stuff propagate (eventually) to any projects using it. This is what I want. I'd be disappointed if the project files actually included the source text as well... Am I right?
