- - read with fgets to avoid buffer overflow and conceal
- unix vs dos compatibility issues with end of line.
- - changed %i to %d on input. Some dos compilers lack
- this feature, and input is always decimal.
- - changed floats to longs, reduced run time by 50%
- on a machine WITH an 8087.
- - changed the instructions to reflect the same command
- to execute on dos or unix.
- - removed a call to strcat which was not needed and
- caused overflow of the name buffer into the description.
- - executable size on dos down 65%
