Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello: I have a program that uses gets(), and FreeBSD complains about it. I read the manpage on gets(), and it says it's dangerous, but yet it doesn't mention any alternatives! Suggestions, recommendations, testimonials, confessions? Btw, FreeBSD 2.0.5 RELEASE is rock solid. Very nice job, you guys! It was nice to finally get rid of Linux. Thanks, -Clint
