Hello All,

I have coded a C program which looks something like below... (program name: test.c)

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int dist,dm,dcm;
printf(" Enter the distance between 2 cities in KM : ");
scanf("%d",&dist);
dm=dist*1000;
dcm=dist*10;
printf("Distance between 2 cities in Meter is %d \n",dm);
printf("Distance between 2 cities in centi-meters is %d \n",dcm);
return 0;
}

 cc test.c

team members?

are you people geting paid?

try

compress a.out
# later on
uncompress a.out.Z

whatever.. even if they compile and then they do cat of the compiled file the same thing happens... i dont want that BEEP to come... so.. please help me

The beeps are generated by the console/terminal emulation, trying to interpret the bytes output by cat. cat faithfully prints whatever is in the file. The file is a collection of opcodes, which you can't change unless you switch to a different architecture, but even then there'll be codes that will make your system beep.

In short: unless your colleagues run (not available on every UNIX)

setterm -blength 0

Off topic. Beware of calling a program "test". It is the name of a unix command.
Maybe tell your colleagues about the "file" command which will tell them whether a file is "text" and therefore suitable for reading with "cat".
The beep usually comes from a byte containing Hex 07 - meaning a terminal bell character in a text file (which program object code isn't).

I lol'd hard at this ^_^
