1.1	Is there an easy way to trace my program execution?
    
    BCB provides two easy to use macros (TRACE and WARN) which log
    messages to a file called OutDbg1.txt.  Inside the IDE, the file
    will automatically pop up in the edit window if used.  The macros
    use C++ streams so you can do stuff like:
    
	TRACE("foo = " << foo << ", bar = " << bar);
    	WARN(x != y, "x(" << x << ") != y(" << y << ")");
    
    To get the macros, you need to include the header file checks.h and
    define __TRACE and __WARN before including the file.  To turn off
    the debugging output, simply undefine __TRACE and __WARN.  Note that
    the difference between TRACE and WARN is that WARN takes a
    conditional first parameter, and the message is logged only if the
    condition is satisfied.  The traditional assert macro is also
    available for console apps.
