March 5: Please use the UCS "submit" program to turn in your projects. For example, to submit your phil.c for project 1, you would type

         submit cs421_0101 proj1 phil.c
If for some reason you need to submit more than one file, e.g., you are using a different Makefile or have a seperate header file (check with me if you want to do this), you can submit everything at once with the command
         submit cs421_0101 proj1 phil.c phil.h Makefile
Submit has a number of other options; for example the command
         submitls cs421_0101 proj1
will list the files you've submitted, making it unnecessary for you to ask me if I've received your project. See the submit man page for further information.

March 4: The duedate for Homework 3 has been extended to Monday, March 11.

Feb 21: An slightly updated version of project 1 is available; changes include some possible clarifications in the project description, and some minor modifications to vend.c, to add some new tests. The tar file contains the updates.
