[tcpl2] Answer to Exercise 1-17

Answer to Exercise 1-17, "The C Programming Language", 2nd edition, Kernighan and Ritchie

I found Answer to Exercise 1-17 of  TCPL2 at this link. And for fun, I wrote mine. Here is my answer.

/** Answer to exercise 1-17, "The C Programming Language", 2nd edition
 * Write a program to print all input lines that are longer than 80 characters. 
 *
 * Story: I was thinking, what if requested input line length is not 
 * 80 characters, what if there is some limitation on the machine that array
 * line[]'s max length is limited, and requested line length is longer than
 * array maximumal-limited length. So in order to make the program more 
 * flexible, I give it a shot to hack it.
 * Desc: The answer is based on TCPL2 example 1-9, using its getline() and 
 * 	 copy() routines to achieve it. Technically, character include 
 * 	 invisible character like '\n', etc. So I didn't limit my program
 * 	 to general character 'a'-'z', etc.
