I do not know how to run the C programs that are posted in the sources
newsgroup.  I save the files, edit them to remove the headers, and change
the mode so that they are executable, but I cannot get them to run.  (I
have never written a C program before.)

Must they be compiled?  With what compiler?  How do I do this?  If I compile 
them, is an object code file generated or must I generate it explicitly with
the > character?  Is there something else that must be done?

I am running Berkeley Standard Unix 4.3 on a VAX.

Please MAIL me responses as I do not subscribe to this newsgroup.  I will post
the correct answer if I receive it.
