Heres the next installment of  the great series (please keep this series 
alive by donating to the ABsolutely Crappy  tv company (ABC).)

1) I'm trying to simulate what sendmail does when it has a command as a 
user,
    so I run my program like this:  a.out<text
    However , When it read()s , only one character is copied into the 
buffer.
if  text =

 >From : .........

the only cahracter in buffer is F.
how do I work around this?
