Lab 7 prelab

For this week's lab you'll be getting some hands on experience with C strings (char * and char[]), C library functions for operating on and with C strings, and also file input, specifically reading lines from a file into an array of C strings.  These are all skills that will prove useful if not necessary for for the project.  If you are not familiar with or at least introduced to these things before the lab begins you will have a tough time completing the lab on time.

I might list more specifically some of the useful concepts later, but be sure you've caught up in the book for all of the reading, including this week's.
