Subject: Weird messages

I will need to keep whacking at this as the project was due for
delivery today :-(, but it seems I took one step too far somewhere
and now all my C++ code blows up the compilation with the message

gcc -g2 -Wall -DNDEBUG -c demo.cc
i:/cca01718:747: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `<'.
i:/cca01718:764: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `<'.
i:/cca01718:781: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `<'.
make.exe: *** [demo.o] Error 1

Seems I'm generating ungrokkable asm code, but where remains a mystery.

This occured after adding iostreams, and at first I thought it might
be because I tried to define a virtual function 'printOn()' for a template
class, in hopes the friend function

        ostream& operator<<(ostream&s,Coordinate<int>)

would handle the ints, and a similar for <float> and <double> &c.
Is this the correct way to declare an ostream operator for a template
class? --- anyway, I removed that bit of questionable code and still
my code gets blown out by AS ...

I'm posting here on the off chance this is a familiar symptom ... any
and all recommendations and suggestions are most welcome.
