- Howdy, All!
-
- FANX! to everyone who chased me up about my suggestion to
- use "gets" for simple user input -- I now understand that
- memory overwrites might occur if "gets" reads too much and
- the input string buffer is trashed.
-
- So, for my simplistic programming needs(!), I'll change to
- "fgets" and make sure everything is "inbounds".
