Wow. That is an issue. I'll be sure to adhere to fgets(). If I'm not
mistaken though, I got the same error from fgets().

So I hear. 

I found a fgets() routine in the K&R manual. It won't work either. It
just returns from the call with no one ever typing anything in. I did a
fflush(stdio) prior to the call too. It looks like somethig is wrong with
gcc so I'm trying to get EMX going now. Thanks a ton for taking the time to
help me out.
