Personally, I see a couple of problems with this (someone please correct
me if I'm wrong).

typedef struct ImageT_tag__ {
char magicNum[2];
int width;
int maxGrey'
int pixels[ROW][COLUMN];
} ImageT;


ImageT ImageTvar;

fscanf(infile, "%c", &ImageT.magicNum[0]);


Now this brings up a very interesting question in C89. I've actually
had code that refused to compile unless I placed an identifier after the
struct. Is that part of the standard, or is it just a gcc thing?
