okay...i have successfully deposited nba.c in /doc/misc/sports/nba/src
on ftp.wustl.edu which you can reach via anonymous ftp.  let me include
below the top portion of the file which has the usage info.  i did repost
the whole file last week.  but i feel that the bandwidth is something to
consider.  so i will only put the documentation header here and encourage
you all to ftp to ftp.wustl.edu for the entire file.  some of you have
noticed some compilation errors on certain machines.  if you have, could
you please send me a listing of the messages you get and the type of
computer/operating system you have.  if i have time, i may be able to have
platform switches that will make those problems go away (maybe).

* This program prints out the NBA schedule for any day in the 1992-1993    *
* season. By default, the current day's schedule is printed.  One can also *
* specify one or more dates on the command line and get the schedule for   *
* that/those date(s).  Any national TV coverage (TNT and NBC) is also      *
* included.  The tip-off time for each game is also listed.  The time is   *
* set up in the matrix for the Eastern time zone.  To change the time to   *
* show either Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zone just change the      *
* "TZ_FIX" #define below before compiling (other time zones are not        *
