I got it to compile, at least it created a file named ones anyway.  What
I'm unclear about, where is the if= for dd in the command?  All the
commands I've seen before has a if= and a of=.  The if for input and of
for output or target.

==== man 1 dd ====
       if=FILE

note the stuff after 'instead' ;)

So it is piped in with the | thingy?  Got it. 

Exactly. Hm. Maybe 'dev_one' might be a better name for the program...
Or something ;)

Thanks much.

You're welcome.

That name makes sense.  Later on, I might look at that file and say, what is that for?  Hit delete and down the rabbit hole it goes.  I think I'll go do that and also edit my notes as well.  Before I forget it.  ;-)
