Lines: 16 "Hello\0, world" is one string. If I say write (1, "Hello\0, world", 13); I expect 13 characters to be written, with NUL and all. (One might actually have a reason to depend on this -- say you were storing ``very small'' integers in a char array. You could use: char permute[] = "\2\1\0\9\8\7\6\3\4\5"; to get a weird permutation table.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay
