[TUHS] Minimum Array Sizes in 16 bit C (was Maximum)

[Rik Farrow]

And my comment about seeing code produced by programmers while doing sales
support dates from 1990. This isn't something new, from my perspective. I
was working in a small programming shop where there were a handful of
excellent programmers, and then sent out to help customers get started
using their libraries. That's when I experienced seeing things that still
make me cringe.
