Each assignment must be done completely by the individual claiming credit for the work. All programs will be done in C or C++. You either have or can obtain accounts of the CS Department's RS/6000 and Sparc workstations. You can obtain accounts for the IX3 system (UNIX) supplied by the Computer Center. A Computer Center account is needed if you dial-in to the Campus Networks.

If you choose to use some other system which supports C and/or C++, please ve aware that the instructor and the TA are not responsible for any problems which arise from using these other systems. In particular, the instructor is not responsible for making input data and programs available on other systems. To repeat, all work handed in MUST be the work of the student receiving the grade. Any exceptions to this must be discussde beforehand.
