[net.micro.mac] hippoc for the mac

Well, does anyone else feel like they've been ripped off by Hippopotamus
Software, Inc.?  I've been trying to use their Hippo~C Level 2 for the Mac
to do some pretty basic stuff and am finding all kinds o problems.  Why doesn't
'\n' work in the following code segment?
	   /* start-o-loop */
		...
		s[i] = getchar();
		if (s[i] == '\n') break;
		...
	   /* end-o-loop */
If s[] is a 20 element array, then this loop doesn't break until the array is
full.  To get around the problem, I trigger on '.', but this causes a '~' to be echoed.  Also, I can't find anything in the documentation on 'sizeof()'...  whatthe #!&%$# is going on here!!!   Has anyone else in netland experienced similar
problems with Hippo~C?  And if so, did you find any solutions to them.  I'll saythanks in advance and will post any good ideas I recieve.
