    i took a quick look at that and the word you are looking for is
    byte (which i had guessed from the posts here before looking,
    but that's beside the point). an octet of bits is always called a
    byte, and while we are on it, half of that octet (4 bits) is called
    a nibble/nybble (depends on your taste in spelling). this is a less
    common term but just so you are aware.

    edit: the octal system (i.e. a number system whose base is 8) is
    fine, thats the common term
    No No's:
    fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();


    Goodies:
    Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference


    My Gear:
    OS - Windows XP
    IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition


    ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
