We have just noticed that the ascii 'SP' (or space, octal 040) is listed as a punctuation character under 4.2BSD. I checked with a V7 compatible system and found it to be listed as only a 'isspace' character NOT 'ispunct'. I strongly disagree to labelling 'SP' as a punctuation character, but before patching ctype_.o I would like to get some opinions. Please mail to me. I will summarize... Please - most importantly: will removing this from the list of punctuation characters break anything under 4.2BSD??? Sorry if this has been discussed before... we don't have enough space to archive discussion newsgroups. -- Doug Robinson Jobs don't kill programmers... programmers kill jobs!
