Assignment turn-in.

As promised, my web submission page isn't ready yet (actually, it's ready as
long as you're not browsing from a windows machine - I'm beginning to
understand why there are so many terrible looking web pages out there).

That being the case, we'll fall back to plan B: e-mail. The easiest way to
e-mail your source code is to include it as attachments to a message; if you
have many files to turn-in, you can zip or tar them into a single file before
attaching.

Cutting and pasting into a message is not a good approach for two reasons:
first, it's difficult for me to pull your code back out of the message again,
and second, your mailer may fold lines in inappropriate places, such as the in
middle of a string constant.

For those running from unix-like machines, it would probably be easiest to shar
me your programs; otherwise the tar-or-zip-and-uuencode route is fine.

As the default, I'm assuming you're e-mailing to turn-in your assignment. Each
message I get from you replaces your previous turn-in, and I don't keep back-up
copies. If you just want me to compile your assignment without taking it to be
your turn-in, make sure you clearly indicate that in your message; something
along the lines of

  "I am not yet turning in my assignment. Please compile this code and send me
   the results."

will do nicely.
