Yeah...I see that after some more research.  So, now I guess my question 
is being that it's not standard and gets() is not safe to use what 
should I use to grab lines?  My gut tells me to copy the getline() 
function from the K&R book but I'm not totally sure that's a great idea 
either.  Stupid strings always causing problems!
