Q. When I Make, Run, or Trace a program Turbo C sometimes goes through the compile and link process even when the object files are up-to-date.

Turbo C's MAKE logic works solely on a file's date and time
    stamp. If one of your source files is marked with a date
    that's sometime in the future, the object files that are
    created from it will always be older than the source file,
    and Turbo C will always try to rebuild the file. You can fix
    this by using TOUCH.COM to set the file to the current date
    and time. You should also make sure that your system's date
    and time are always properly set.
