Thanks to all who responded

here's the code that worked
My system is a AT&T 3b1 System V 3.51m

#include "simped.h"

char *strdup(string)
char *string;
{
/*static char *buffer;*/
char *buffer, *malloc();

int stringinx;

if ((buffer = (char *) malloc(strlen(string) + 1)) == NULL)
    {
    fprintf(stderr, "malloc: in strdup, error\n");
    exit(2);
    }

   return strcpy(buffer, string);
}
