With the following declarations: char *nam, *pstring; I get an warning message with the following line of code: if(NULL==(pstring=strrchr(nam, '.')) || strcmp(pstring,".imh")) The warning from my compiler is "imropen.c", line 17: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op = Everything works as I expect. Furthermore, this code is analagous to code I found in the book TOPICS IN C PROGRAMMING by Kochan and Wood. Note that I have isolated the warning to the fragment pstring=strrchr(f77nam, '.'); and I HAVE included <strings.h> as the manual indicates. If I include <string.h>, however (not indicated by the man page), I do not get the warning message. In <string.h> there is extern char *strrchr(); not in <strings.h>. So the real question is: is there a bug in <strings.h> or the man page or my code or my compiler? I am on a sun 3/50 running 4.0.3. E-mail replies since and I will post if there is a definitive answer. jjk@astro.umd.edu
