Hello Chipnuke. This is the second of 2 threads you have posted with what look like homework/assignment questions.

Can you tell us what you need these answering for?

Fair enough. http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorell...lk/node96.html may be a good start point for 1. and 2. 3. involves you compiling the file.

How far have you got on your own.
