in reply to Do your homework!

I concur. My graduate Systems Programming course met for the first time last night. I was surprised to find that our professor is allowing us to implement our projects in any language (that can access common system calls). However, instead of choosing Perl, i am going to choose C because i want to 'get a deeper' understanding. Our first assignment is a client-server app that functions much like rsh (next one will be more like ssh). We all know that Python, Java, and espcially Perl can solve this problem quite easily - i hope to gain more from implementing this puppy in C. Plus, i am teaching 3 C++ labs and need to get back into the swing of doing it the hard way. ;).
