mkchars.c:
#include "stdio.h"
unsigned char i;
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
unsigned char buffer[256];
do { buffer[i] = i; } while(++i);
fwrite(buffer, 256, 1, stdout);
return 0;
}
make mkchars
../mkchars >samplechars
../catv samplechars
Many terminal emulators will react oddly if you fail to redirect. Don't
../mkchars
Many editors will behave badly if you try to edit samplechars.

violent psychopath who knows where you live.
