Why not? And does this extend to .h or .hpp files one writes oneself?

I can't get RHIDE to link such .hpp files into the .cpp file in a
project; the linker stage simply produces crazy errors and an apparently
empty (but error-filled) file called: [whatever].cc. It doesn't matter
as I can still write, compile and link files with the same content under
djgpp direct in DOS. But why is this happening under the otherwise
excellent RHIDE?

Information much appreciated.
