0) Questions and answers

   A question about the tilde files, e.g.
     lab01a.c   lab01a.c~

     Tilde file is backup file created by emacs
     which is "one version ago".

     You can use 
           diff lab01a.c lab01a.c~ 
     to compare two versions of a file.

   Another question about the files like
     #lab01a.c#

    The #lab01a.c# file is an emacs "autosave" file.
    The autosave features happens automatically 
    and it saves a copy of your file, just in case
    there is a sudden loss of electrical power.

    Under normal circumstances, the #lab01a.c# type	
    autosave files go away by themselves.  They only
    stick around if you exit emacs in some
    abnormal way... e.g. clicking the red x in
    your ssh window or xterm window without
    first saving the file, and leaving emacs.
