ain't that a classic .. all software and hardware an middleware
folks should be able to write and rewite that in gazillion languages
( each language that shows up on your resume )
:-)
-- other classic apps ..
- read track0, head 0, sector 0 ( aka the MBR )
- list of hardware ( precursors of lspci didn't exist )
- show date/calendar for any year ( not too trivial as it sounds
due to "leap centuries" and other whackyness )
- tower of hanoi
- tcp/ip test ... ping.c
- that's the first 10minuts of your interview :-)
( sanity checking the alphabet soup on the resume/CV )
