Jim -

Off the top:

Are you REALLY passing an ARRAY of characters to the function, or did you pass
a pointer to that array? If you called the function with the name of the array,
you passed a pointer:

   char junk[81];
   gets(junk);
   do_function(junk);

.. as in this scenario. It'll also be easier to manipulate (and faster) in the
target function. I've never passed an array in TC, but don't think you CAN
under MW C.

Also - on your reference to strncpy(), you said you were copying the 6th and
7th characters... you actually started the copy at the 7th character when you
did this: strncpy(target, source+6, 2);
