Plus some new ones as well. Among them were: bcmp, bcopy, bzero, ffs, getusershell, index, mkstemp, rindex, strcasecmp, and strncasecmp. I don't know if this is entirely good news... Doesn't this mean that now also on HP-UX you can get away with sloppy programming style (using the b* and index functions even if ANSI C and POSIX mandate mem* and strchr)? -- Tor Lillqvist, working, but not speaking, for the Technical Research Centre of Finland
