No problem...  Just follow the rules... ;-)

Ok, so not so much "NO PROBLEM"  Well, the real answer is that you should
program by the rules and not empirically.  That is, don't just try things
and if they work think that they are right.  Design things while looking at
the rules.  Many of the problems others have had was where they would write
something and try it and when it worked, it was "right."  This is not
the case as it may just work in your system...

Well, the first thing should be using full ANSI C function prototyping and
and definition which will help find many of the silly argument type missmatches
that give many programs trouble.

Sounds like a nice project to get you started...  Good luck.
