Hello, I recently wrote a little C program which uses the stdio.h function gets(). I compiled and ran it under FreeBSD and I get.. warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe. What exactly does this mean? Why is it unsafe? If possible, can any replies be sent as an e-mail to the above address? Thank You, JM -- ----- Jeffrey M.
