Yeah. Before I had discovered the miracles of emacs RCS, I was just updating my programs without keeping track of previous versions. One of the versions I didn't keep track of was the previous version of this program. It didn't have all the funky stuff needed to open an input file (like strcat, etc).

Just trust me when I say that every version of this program has worked under Suse Linux 9.1, Fedora Core 6, FreeBSD 4.8, and OpenBSD 3.2
