Well, character handling not an easy task and it doesnt matter how <iffy> t=
he=20
code looks like. It should be robust, understandable (try to imagine how yo=
ur=20
function will be executed under various circumstances), simple and well=20
documented. I would like to have an simple function in library with clear=20
docs and visible path of execution.=20

=2D-=20

PS. No defense :-)
 Could you please tell me what happened in this function with such a little=
=20
program?

int main(int argn,char *argc[])
{
	get_word(1, "\"Anne got cr");
	return 0				;
}
