What does this do? It doesn't seem to exist on my 4.3 system. I suspect it's a SysV library fn, so it seems like I'll have to write it myself. (The reason I'm cross-posting it to net.bicycle is that that's where the particlar program came from.) Example: long strtol(); getnum() { return (int)strtol(lineptr, &lineptr, 10); } -- Robert^Z
