/************************************************************************ 
 *
 * Purpose: To demonstrate 'linked lists' This program will build a
 *	    linked list and place data into it. When the data is exausted
 *	    the contents of the list are O/P.
 *	    This example shows the use of 'typedef' on linked lists.
 *
 *          This is a "First in First out" (FIFO) list.
