R. G.,  C is famous for such stuff. About a decade ago a Bell Labs guy here in 
the colonies wrote a book called the "C Puzzle Book" or something similar. I 
think his last name was Feuer, possibly Allan as a first name. I just checked, 
and my copy disappeared in my last move a couple years ago. You might be 
able to find it in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne library though. 

The form the book took was to exhibit a broblem like those you wrote about 
on one side of the page, and explain what the problem was and how to fix it on 
the reverse side of the page.

If that sounds useful, I hope you can find it.

Cheers,

Harry
