Ok, I have stdout working right (one of the variants of the code didn't
use stdout right), but currently, I'm having toruble getting input. 
Here is where I am having the trouble:

fflush(stdout);fflush(stdin);
printf("Analyze (C)ompressed or (U)ncompressed file? ");
fflush(stdout);
option = getchar();

The coputer doesn't wait, but continues on even though I flushed the
stdin.  Is there any other function I need call, or some little detail
I'm missing?  Thanks.
