So would you consider using editgets from snippets instead of gets() ?
At first i thought it was good, but after having to link in 3-4 source and 
another 7 or so header files, i've made my own. 
I hardly used gets or fgets since.
The reason is that i want the user see exactly what i will except within the 
program, with fgets() you can type in a long string and unbeknown to you(the 
user) it'll get truncated.
