NOTICE TO NEW STUDENTS:  Newsgroup comp.std.c is for discussions of
standardization issues (e.g. ISO/ANSI C standard, maybe POSIX C standard,
whether various implementations conform, whether various programs are
strictly conforming, etc.).

If the above answers don't help you, then perhaps you need to ask the
tutors for your course.  If they can't help you, then perhaps you need
to post in a newsgroup concerning the UNIX operating system, to learn
