Hi all,

I recently came across the next problem;


 1070    1       mvgetstr(10, 20, pword);
%CC-W-TOOMANYMACARGS, Argument list for macro "mvgetstr" contains
                too many arguments;  excess arguments ignored.

%CC-W-TOOFEWMACARGS, Argument list for macro "mvwgetstr" contains
                too few arguments;  missing arguments assumed to be null.

%CC-W-IGNORED, Unexpected "," ignored.



pword is declared as char[10]
I am using the right libraries and included curses (mvaddstr DOES work)

VAX C bug ??
please help

(VAX C V2.1-007 under VAX VMS V4.5)
