To compile it, you simply type one of (assuming fid.c is in your
current directory):
 
    cc fid.c -o fid
 
or
 
    gcc fid.c -o fid
 
depending on the name of your C compiler (a C compiler is included in
all Unix distributions I've ever had access to).

To run the program, you simply type one of:
 
   ./fid
 
   ./fid <name_of_dsk_image>
 
   ./fid *.dsk
 
and then answer the questions (the leading ./ can be omitted if
you have . in your PATH).
 
If you give it a try, I'd like to know how it all went.

You don't need to knpow how to program in C to run someone else's
C program....
