Hello, davido.

Good advice. I hope anyone examining this thread, takes your advice to heart. No matter Git, SVN, CVS. Whatever your RCS, VCS. In the end you'll be glad you did -- really. :)

As for this small endeavor; I already had the whole of the project open in my editor. I think ~90 files. So if anything went south. It was a simple matter of CTRL+Z to back out. :). But as a rule, version tracking/control is my motto.

In the end, I took Perl's advice (also echoed by others in this thread), and simply removed the defined. That along with your thoughtful "wake-up call" regarding diagnostics, and a few tests, indicated it's all good now -- well that much, anyway.

Thanks for all your input, davido.
Much appreciated.

--Chris
