I think there's a "don't" missing in that sentence somewhere :-)

Oops... one sticking key or overactive user will crash/coredump/otherwise 
mutilate your program.
Try:
char name[40],*p;
fgets(name,40,stdin);
/* if you wish to remove the newline to duplicate gets() functionality: */
if ((p=strchr(name,'\n'))!=NULL)
   *p = '\0';
