Yep, an error, compiler exits with a non-zero code, and the make stops,
with no .o file produced.  Most annoying of it.
The message from the make is:
"folders.c", line 35: operand of ! must be arithmetic or pointer
*** Error code 1

That's all I can ask.  So long as it is not something that was put there
in the past, and is left over because it was overlooked (which it may
still be, but at least is is no longer forgotten/lost if it was).
