Would someone who has internet access and knows how to use it
be able to send this to mattes{at}azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de
as the internet gateway that I am using down here seems to be
swallowing all my messages.  Thanks + bye.  Paul.

/* According to my interpretation of ISO/IEC 9899:1990, this

   EMX 0.9a. */

int main(void)
{
    char buf[50] = "5 6";
    int x, y;

    ret = sscanf(buf, "%d %d p", &x, &y);
    printf("ret is %d\n", ret);
    return (0);
