Not exactly a question for wizards, but here goes.....

If you have a Sequent S81, you already know that their OS is based on
4.2 BSD, why I  don't know. Anyway, I have some programs that manipulate
strings heavily, using the strtok() routines in the programmer's library.
To my amazement, 4.2BSD doesn't have these. I haven't done the normal
progression here, as I started on SYSV and BSD 4.3, and I guess I'm already
spoiled.

Now for the "meat" of the post. I need some type of compatibility library for
these string functions. Is there some place on the net I can pick up this
library? When I was using my SYSV box, we had the BSD networking library, and
I thought there might be something simple as a library for BSD 4.2.

Any guesses?

I could write it, but why re-invent the wheel, when someone else has probably
already done a better job at it!

Thanks Tons,

Brando
