ok, this was just weird, turns out if I have a file called object.d in the 
same directory as another .d file which I am trying to compile I get a

 weird error message:
It's best to consider the module name 'object' as reserved, since the compiler has a lot of exact expectations for its contents!

I figured that was the case. Can we get some sort of error so this does not happen, i.e. "module name 'object' reserved". Regan. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
