Hmph, this cast bothers me.  I am fine with either of these two, though.

	int ch = *cp & 0377;
        unsigned char ch = *((unsigned char *)cp);

I think we avoid "echo -n" and use "printf" to be portable across
different echo implementations.

Use of \0377, which most likely to be just half-a-character, does
not feel a particularly good example, by the way.

Likewise.
