Okay here is my useless, but still (I guess) basic
program. It was done for a class assignment, it's very
lame. Probably is fairly portable, as it doesn't do
anything fancy -- just stdio stuff. Grr.. Of course, I screwed the line length up on this, so Advogato doesn't do it right. Oh, well.
All Hail Friday!
Yes, I dug up (and added) a few new stuff to iMacLinux.
This weekend, I'll be busy working on Family Life MB.
