I see. I will do the test again later. I've already had the binary 
tcc installed in /usr/bin. the problem is that I can't have the 
source program installed along side, that means when I do tcc -run 
tcc.c, the second incarnation of tcc as run in the source form will 
have difficulty with the paths.

Me wonder if there is a cleaner solution for this. But the command 
line arguments if it works is just fine :)

Already done! :)

The point is that I want to present to my readers some benefits of 
using or playing with tcc, that some problems can be easily solved, 
or be more fun with tcc's scriptability instead of a usual compile 
and link style of development.

Besides the hello, world! in ex1.c I was also planning some string 
management examples. I'd like to know some more interesting examples 
that I can present to my readers. Thanks!

Yes I know, I was planning to add this to tcc, what's your idea?
