You will be using C or C++ under Unix (netBSD machines). Burchard 127 has
Unix terminals availabel for CS students. You may develop and debug all your
code on any machine you like, but before you submit your homework make sure it compiles and runs on NetBSD! If you don't
already have an account, make sure you get one, by contacting the CS system administrator.
