Assignment 1
Corrections and Clarifications

In the description of Assignment 1, I refered to the name of the main module with two names. In section 4.4 I called it asgn1.cpp and in section 8 I called it main.cpp.
The correct name is asgn1.cpp. I am insisting that these names be used so that it is easier to the TAs to mark them.

There is an error in the description of function atEnd in plist.h. I have mixed up the true and false. Here is the correct version:
// ... If this function returns // false, then a call to getNext() will return a person. If this // function returns true, then a call to getNext() will not // return a person. I will make these corrections in the web page file and in the file in the Assignment Lab.

If you are compiling using a compiler that has the bool type already defined (such as Borland C++ 5.0), then you don't need the bool.h file to define the bool type. But since the plist.h header file includes bool.h, just make a file bool.h with nothing in it. This will make the preprocessor happy when it tries to include bool.h.
In the function addToEnd in plist.h the parameter is passed by reference for efficiency, not because the function will change the parameter. I should have made it a const, but it's too late now.
