c-source.exe         59,624 bytes (binary)
c-source.sit.hqx     60,627 bytes (ASCII)
c-source.tar.Z       46,355 bytes (binary)

The chapter on coding standards is also available in three ASCII/text-based formats:

chap-13.asc          36,160 bytes (ASCII)
chap-13.pdf          44,054 bytes (ASCII)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Files with the extension ".tar.Z" are archived using the
Unix "tar" command, and then compressed. To make them 
available, first be sure that you are in =binary= mode
before transferring the files (type "binary" at the "ftp>" 
prompt). Once transferred, use the syntax:
     uncompress filename.tar.Z
     tar xvf filename.tar


Files with the extension ".sit.hqx" are archived using
the Macintosh-native Stuffit program, and then bin-hexed,
making them ASCII files (transferring them as binary won't
hurt them, but is redundant). The easiest way to "unbinhex" 
and "unstuff" them in one go is to use the free program, 
StuffIt Expander. Versions are available on this site in 
our /pub/tools/mac directory (StuffIt_Expander...), or 
directly from Aladdin Software at ftp.aladdinsys.com in 
their "pub" directory.


Files with the extension ".exe" are archived using 
PKZIP 2.04G, and then made self-extracting. You need no 
extra software to unarchive these files on your DOS or 
Windows machine. To make them available, first be sure that you are in =binary= mode before transferring the files (type "binary" at the "ftp>" prompt). Once transferred, use the syntax:
    filename -d
(the "-d" will preserve directory structure where 
directories have been created), where "filename" is the 
name of the file, minus the ".exe" extension.
