You probably should have used strchr. index goes with rindex, but rindex isn't actually used in the [i386] kernel, and Lite2 has almost completed removing *index from user code. OTOH, using a non-STDC function has the advantage that the compiler won't silently replace it by a possibly-inferior builtin. This shouldn't be a problem for rindex/strchr since it should be rarely used. OTOH, using a non-STDC function has the advantage that gcc may replace it by a superior builtin :-). Bruce
