+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 7-8: Write a program to print a set of files, starting each new one
+ * on a new page, with a title and a running page count for each file.
+ *
+ * Notes: This could be done using functions written in exercise 7-2, but I
+ * decided to go with library functions when I could. A caveat to keep in mind
+ * on a real system is that the modern way to print some of the output is with
+ * snprintf, which doesn't exist in ANSI C. There are places where, to be safe,
+ * you should check bounds. Both line buffers are the same size here, however,
+ * so I didn't bother since I know they can hold each others' contents.
+ *
+ * If you were to do this correctly, it would be a lot like the `less` program.
