The parameters are defined (by ISO) to be constant.  The local
variables either need to ALSO be defined const, or have a 
typecast.  I thought it was better to do the former.

I can't remember though - does the "const" in strstr() mean that
you aren't changing the data that the pointers point to, or that
you aren't changing the pointers themselves?  BFN.  Paul.
