A programming hint

[Alain Williams]

I have read (some) of the plethora of articles on overlapping moves.
The consensus is that it working is implementation dependent.
This is unfortunate as I do this quite alot, it works on all my
local machines.
If your machine will NOT work in the way I expect I would be grateful
if you could tell me.
If there is sufficient interest I will sumaraise the replies.

(To remind, the question is that will the following code fill fred[]
 with spaces:

 char	fred[10];
 fred[0] = ' ';
 strncpy(&fred[1], &fred[0], 9);
)
