Some good programs (and useful tools too) can be found in Kerninghan and
Plauger's _Software Tools_ (as if everyone didn't know), but a good pro-
ject is to have the students write them in C rather than a super-charged
version of Pascal (as many inexperienced C programmers do). For example,
make the issues of efficiency important; have them use dynamic allocation,
use pointers rather than arrays. All of these things are more idiomatic
of advanced programs, and it seems that these are some of the more difficult
operations to learn. Especially useful are examples which require double
indirection using pointers and dynamic allocation.
