The manual page for ctype says that isprint classifies the characters space through tilde as printing characters. However, issprint rejects spaces. Which needs fixing, the code or the documentation? Jon Steinhart, Tektronix, Inc.

From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@Brl-Vld.ARPA> Isprint() DOES classify a space as a printing character, on Bell UNIXes from System III on. Isgraph() is similar, but treats a space as non-graphic. I recommend that people get a copy of the UNIX System V manuals (available without licensing the software), just to see what a UNIX looks like these days. A lot has happened since 1978.
