You deserve flaming for this! There are as many answers as there are
"C" libraries, how is anyone to tell which answer you want? I'll mail
you a solution if you let me know which of Unix or MSDOS you want the
answer for (I can't vouch for other operating systems) as I am too
lazy to cater for both worlds (and I also don't really like too many
#ifdef's).
