My thanks to all who wrote to tell me about the strstr(3), or equivalent,
function in their libraries.  The version of SysV we use doesn't include
it nor anything like it.  Neither does our 4.3 bsd.

To all others in my position I say again, enjoy.  To those who have
strstr(3) available to them, never mind (-: (unless you need a PD
version).

(And to those who think they can improve on my code -- go for it.  I make
no claim perfection).
