is there a good reason for "fgets()" to use a ring buffer? when a user overruns the input buffer, all my option checking which takes place at the beginning of the buffer goes crazy, throwing garbage option error messages all over the screen, since my code now interprets the "overrun" as options ... ??? - also - anyone got an explanation for no "long doubles" in FreeBSD (2.1.5)? are they planning on implementing them? i have lost 8 byte precision in all my float-to-string / string-to-float operations, which is critical for what my code does ... ??? > thanks y'all. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
