But still it's the case that all Unix-heritage compilers will link
unless you add "-c" to the compile line. That's true for C and C++,
too.

Usually you need switches to get just a compile.

I disagree; usually you do NOT need switches.

Apparently you're a Windows user; there's not much point arguing about
whether "usually" should mean the Unix/Linux or the Windows
convention. Is it really true that Windows compilers other than
Microsoft F77 work that way?
