... My point was that you needn't use getline(), which reallocates buffers to ensure that you can fit the entire line in a single string. That's entirely unnecessary, because any single line longer than perhaps a few hundred characters will not *fit*. So just use fgets(), which is actually portable. Yes, fgets() reads lines too. > 2. > xsetroot must be called for each change in status message. My program > ... I know! cls
