   <strings.h>  contains the data types for the string
operations - strcat, strncat, strtok, strcpy, etc.  I have used the
strings functions many times without using this header file.  If
you are checking the return codes of the functions explicitly define
the functions.  Example:

char *strcat(), *strcmp();
int strlen;

   I believe Microsoft C libraries contains the string functions. In
that case just explicitly define the functions. If they don't  you might
have to write the string functions yourself.
