Those of you who remember the public-domain string(3) that I posted to the net a while ago may have noticed that it took great pains to avoid ever moving a pointer beyond the end (either end) of a string and then having to move it back. Care on this point is advisable if you want your code to be portable to segmented machines. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
