 Because gets has no bounds protection, it should be avoided.
 Use fgets instead.... e.g  fgets(buffer, buffer_len, stdin);

 I think that cgets has some bounds protection, but it's only
 going to compile if you're using a Borland compiler.  If you
 want to make your code more portable use the fgets.
 Of course, C code like this is off topic and should be discussed
 in the C echo.
