Apart from that some other posters gave a few 
solutions, it might be helpful for you to check
the snippets collection. It is a big bunch of C 
fragments and complete programs that cover 
some every day problems. You can find it on your
local simtel mirror, I memory serves right under msdos/c.

Although some problems are covered by libc and are
obsolete in a 32 Bit environment, it is often a good
place to check for solutions.
