666 SEARCHER -- C LANGUAGE VERSION
==================================
[Thanks to a CN reader for the following]
 
/*
| srchr.c
|
| This is a C implementation of Brian Redman's QuickBasic 666 Searcher.
| You can do whatever you want with it.  If one of the things you want
| to do is compile it, then "cc -s -O srchr.c -o srchr" should work on
| both unix and dos.  Enjoy!
