question for any C++ progammers

You probably will not have to eat your words.

TO execuute a program in unix/linux follow the steps:

1. check if the file is executable. (it should be by default but who knows)
if in doubt chmod 755 programname
2. check if your path executes file in the current directory or run the
program using ./programname

-> Ok, this is frustrating...
-> 
-> yesterday when I compiled some stuff I wrote in C++, I was 
-> able to run the 
-> executable by typing exp1.o at the command prompt...  Today, 
-> I tried it 
-> again and got the following output:
-> 
-> []$ cd ~/C++assignments
-> [C++assignments]$ g++ Assn2.cpp -oexp1.o
-> [C++assignments]$ dir
-> Assn2.cpp      Currency2-1.o         Currencycalc2-2.cpp   
-> Currencycalc3.cpp
-> Assn2.cpp~     Currency2-2.o         Currencycalc2-2.cpp~  exp1.o
-> Currency1.cpp  Currencycalc2-1.cpp   Currencycalc2.cpp
-> Currency1.o    Currencycalc2-1.cpp~  Currencycalc2.cpp~
-> [C++assignments]$ exp1.o
-> bash: exp1.o: command not found
-> [C++assignments]$
-> 
-> For some reason my compiled program won't run today, but it

-> using the exact same commands.  I love linux, but little

-> like this is really aggrivating...  I re-installed the gcc RPM's and
