First of all, yes, the parentheses are screwed on the 5th line (only in
my example, though, not in the source). But, I am not trying to strcat to
a null string, I don't think... title has the value READ_TITLE(ch) if you
look a little more closely. It already has a string, and I don't think the
length of title is formally declared, but when this gets called in the
advance() function, the *title arg is passed as NULL. There is no prob. with
assigning title a value of length strlen(READ_TITLE(ch)), so why is there
a prob. adding an extra "some string" on to it??
Thanks for the help...
