In this case the newline had
to be terminated but it was a pretty straightforward fix. `gets()` was defined
to use `fgets()` and the inclusion of `stdio.h` had to be added but to make it
more like the original entry this was done in the Makefile. The alternate code was
also changed to use `fgets(3)`.
