Doing memset(&some_pointer, '\0', any_length_of_data) is pretty-universally a bad thing.

I pray that's the last thing I break on this. I haven't much time left to submit.

I have a coding project due at 4:30 that's taken me days just to get an environment it'll compile in, mostly (I think) because I've been stupid. The above is more foolishness from me, because I've never been a C programmer and pointers confuse me.

With 4.25 hours left, I've got it running now but it's failing. And I need to get it to not fail.
