It is a big bunch of C fragments and complete programs that cover some every day problems. You can find it on your local simtel mirror, I memory serves right under msdos/c. Although some problems are covered by libc and are obsolete in a 32 Bit environment, it is often a good place to check for solutions. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
