Hey -- I apologize for not getting the web stuff up yet on gcov.   Just 
been too darn busy.

Anyway here are a few quick steps...

1. compile your C++ program with the following flags -fprofile-arcs 
-ftest-coverage
2. run your code
3. run "gcov sourcefilename"  (you can look at all the options for gcov 
on the man pages)
4. this should generate several files with a .gcno extension.  Look at 
these file for the profiling information
