It is.  <strings.h> declares a bunch of the string-manipulating
functions ("strcpy", "strcmp", etc.); the S5 equivalent is <string.h>. 

Note that "index" and "rindex" in V7 (and inherited by BSD) were renamed
"strchr" and "strrchr" by AT&T; I don't know if HP/UX has "index" and
"rindex", and if so whether it's in "libc" or a BSD compatibility
library.  As such, if the code uses either of them, it may have to be
linked with a BSD compatibility library, or compiled with some
pre#defined value to map "index" and "rindex" to "strchr" and "strrchr".
