All I know about variable arguments in ANSI C is how to do prototypes,
and define the functions.  However, I don't know how to read each of
the arguments passed to the function.  Could someone email/post a
simple function that will take a variable number of strings, and then
print them to stdout one at a time.

i.e.

	void print_strings (char *str, ...)
	{
	...
	}
