	The problem where modifying dummy causes a Segmentation violation is 
due to ANSI C, I suspect.  ANSI C says that you can't change any part of a
string constant (or words to that effect).  If you want to get around this, 
change the definition/declaration from char *dummy="string" to 
char dummy[]="string".  Not much difference, but just enough for ANSI.
