To be slightly more precise, the reason that the original pointer suggests using memset is because bzero() is a BSD-ism, and is not found on non-BSD based systems (ie Solaris). In fact, in the latest release of a certain BSD related C library, bzero() is merely a macro for memset() anyhow. Whem man pages suggest an alternative, use it. :) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
