RA> use the gets() function to get a line of text from stdin.
... and thereby give your code the exact same vulnerability that was 
explioted in `finger' and `sendmail' by the Internet Worm of 1987.
When the content of a data stream can be determined by the user, and can 
therefore be of arbitrary length, *never* use gets() to read from the stream, 
since it cannot check for buffer overruns.  Use fgets() or 
tream::getline().
