But generally isn't it the case that the reason you want the pointer to the tail end is because you want to append even more? The original str*() return values are strange and useless. I already know what the first argument is, so why return it? Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
