 What happens if you try using `cd -` to return to previous directory? What about
 `cd` with no args?
 
-## Alternate code:
-
-If you wish to see the original source (fixed so it can compile) that uses
-`gets()` instead of `fgets()` you can look at [tbr.alt.c](tbr.alt.c). To compile
-it:
-
-```sh
-make alt

-
-Use `tbr.alt` as you would `tbr`. You'll likely get a warning about the usage of
-`gets()` and with macOS it will mess up output of the first line.
