myprog.c
appropriately if you like. Do
not
submit any (PostScript) files larger than 1MB. (If you're unsure, use

executing and viewing
type
a.out > picture.ps
to redirect the output to a file; type
gs picture.ps
to view; if you get an error when trying to view, then your probably made a mistake with the PostScript syntax
htree.c
you should enjoy this one
myprog.c
we'll deduct if your picture is overly boring and too similar to
htree.c
extra.c
combine the two main concepts you have been using and write a recursive PostScript program!
or "un-recursify" your program
