	On our system, arrays of integers are initialized to zero 
	automatically.  I.e., "int n[100]" produces an array of 100
	integers all equal to 0.  

	Is it ok to assume all UNIX C compilers do this, or do some of
	them not initialize the stuff?  Basically, I need to know if I
	can skip initializing them.
