[eat at joes]


As my modem is also eating things, I will be brief. 

The i variable is never initialized, making this loop dependent on Zuut for
luck.

      while ( i <= rlength )
       {
        x = x + xinc;
        y = y + yinc;
        i++;
       }
       printf ("%.6f\n",x);

Lint caught this for me right away.
