The code is shown below. Some suggestions: * Decide if you want to use the C or C++ IO routines, and stick to one of them. * Give descriptive names to the variables you use. * Do check the C faq and other sources of documentation for proper use of library routines.

For example: info libc alpha fscanf Sinan. -- -------------------------------- A. Sinan Unur http://www.unur.com/
