#N:ima:18500001:000:483 ima!johnl Aug 3 21:43:00 1983 I noticed that the "newsinput" program here was getting hung a lot, and inspection shows many places in the code like: while(getchar() != '\n') ; If the note got truncated so that the header is incomplete, this sort of code hangs up. Tsk, tsk. The fix is easy. In all such places, change the code to something like this: while(getchar() != '\n') if(feof(stdin)) exit(1); John Levine, decvax!yale-co!ima!johnl, ucbvax!cbosgd!ima!johnl, {allegra|floyd|amd70}!ima!johnl
