Quality: An inquiry into methods

With some more experience from some different environments, I have felt the need to update my document on “How to wield PC Lint”. The main changes I made to the document:

• the Gimpel-provided compiler support files ‘co-*.lnt’ may be a fair starting point, but certainly not the final word;
• I changed the name for my output file to ‘lintout.out’, for one project the names ‘error’ and ‘errors’ were already in use, and using the extension ‘lnt’ doesn’t seem a good idea anymore;
• I now use quotes around the filename for Lint’s output messages, to accommodate environments using spaces in path names;
• I added a warning about suppressing errors numbered less than 400;

in addition to some small corrections.

Have fun!
