(5.2.1p2 in C95 and C99 calls that the "null character") I discussed this briefly with Ruslan before he committed; I also prefer "nul" because it reduces confusion (see rev 1.13) but didn't think it was important enough to argue about. Perhaps calling it a zero byte instead will avoid the problem in the future. Tony. -- f.a.n.finch http://dotat.at/ CAPE WRATH TO RATTRAY HEAD INCLUDING ORKNEY: NORTHWEST 5 EASING 4 OVERNIGHT.
