You got the Pascal version of the book. The original version is
in C. Send back the book for the C version.

C version:

http://www.amazon.com/Software-Tools-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/020103669X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207268779&sr=8-1

Pascal version:

http://www.amazon.com/Software-Tools-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/020103669X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207268779&sr=8-1

A brief look at the comments for the Pascal version simply
demonstrates that you weren't the only one who bought the
wrong book.
