May as well toss in the assembler guy approach to the problem:

char SpaceSquash()
{
          for (i = strlen(desc) - 1; i > 0; i--) {
               if (desc[i-1] == ' ') {
                   if (desc[i] == ' ') {
                       strncpy(&desc[i], &desc[i+1], (strlen(desc)-i));
                    }
                }
            }
          return 0;
}
