Most of time when you use strcpy you don't want the result so you should always use strcpy. If an idiom will run faster then define a macro. Then when you change systems, you can choose how to implement string copy. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
