// named Brevity and specified a dictionary.
char *databuffer;
// Create a buffer approximately 32K in size
databuffer = (char *) malloc( sizeof(char) * 32000 );
if ( databuffer == NULL ) {
printerror( eNoMemory ); // some constant for our error function
return;
}
// A function you write that puts your text into the buffer
GetText( databuffer );
ixSummarizeBuffer( Brevity, databuffer, &Status );
if ( *Status < 0 ) {
printerror( Status );
return; // error
}
