- read with fgets to avoid buffer overflow and conceal
unix vs dos compatibility issues with end of line.
- changed %i to %d on input. Some dos compilers lack
this feature, and input is always decimal.
- changed floats to longs, reduced run time by 50%
on a machine WITH an 8087.
- changed the instructions to reflect the same command
to execute on dos or unix.
- removed a call to strcat which was not needed and
caused overflow of the name buffer into the description.
- executable size on dos down 65%
