I'm teaching myself C by working my way through Steve Summit's

of the questions (assignment 6, exercise 7), you have to write a
function to read lines of arbitrary length from the command line,
using malloc() and realloc() to allocate the necessary memory to
hold the lines. I came up with this:
Instead of all that just get ggets.zip from:

Be aware, if you do so, that the above routine has what some people
consider to be serious design flaws. And of course you'll learn more by
writing your own than you will by pinching someone else's.
