In the event of a reallocation failure, the function keeps reading the file until the end, which is a bit silly. |
The loop condition should be while(*Error == 0 && fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, fp)) |

In the sidebar, "a particular set of data" isn't quite right. |
The word 'kind' would be better than 'set' here. 'Set' has a mathematical meaning that is irrelevant and distracting in this context. |

All that differs is the constants." |
Change to: "These two functions look very
similar, except for the values of the constants." |

'intolerably complex' |
How about 'intolerably tedious' or 'intolerably error-prone' or even 'intolerably fiddly'? |
