Hi Paul,

my reply is missing since more than 3 month now!
SORRY, but I was a bit busy . . .

Well, I have a few self written X11 applications running on top of
that box. And I use everything which is arround and keep my gnu
environement up to date, as far as possible.

Clearly spoken, the old bison 1.875 (I guess) was working for
everything find.

enclosed I send you the man page for strtol (see attachement).

So this seams to work . . .

The result seams to be the same!

If there is a modified code, please let me know!
I'll take it, and I'll try!

Most probably even faster than 3 month!

Thanx for your patience!

STRTOL(3)              C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS              STRTOL(3)



NAME
     strtol, atol, atoi - convert string to integer

SYNOPSIS
     long strtol(str, ptr, base)
     char *str, **ptr;
     int base;

     long atol(str)
     char *str;

     int atoi(str)
     char *str;

DESCRIPTION
     strtol() returns as a long integer the value represented  by
     the  character  string  pointed  to  by  _s_t_r.  The string is
     scanned up to the  first  character  inconsistent  with  the
     base.   Leading  ``white-space''  characters  (as defined by
     isspace() in ctype(3V)) are ignored.

     If the value of _p_t_r is not (char **)NULL, a pointer  to  the
     character  terminating  the scan is returned in the location
     pointed to by _p_t_r.  If no integer can be formed, that  loca-
     tion is set to _s_t_r, and zero is returned.

     If _b_a_s_e is positive (and not greater than 36), it is used as
     the  base  for  conversion.  After an optional leading sign,
     leading zeros are ignored, and ``0x'' or ``0X''  is  ignored
     if _b_a_s_e is 16.

     If _b_a_s_e is zero,  the  string  itself  determines  the  base
     thusly:  after an optional leading sign a leading zero indi-
     cates octal conversion, and a leading ``0x'' or ``0X'' hexa-
     decimal conversion.  Otherwise, decimal conversion is used.

     Truncation from long to int can, of course, take place  upon
     assignment or by an explicit cast.

     atol(_s_t_r) is equivalent to strtol(_s_t_r, (_c_h_a_r **)NULL, 
10).

     atoi(_s_t_r) is equivalent to (int) strtol(str, (char  **)NULL,
     10).

SEE ALSO
     ctype(3V), scanf(3V), strtod(3)

BUGS
     Overflow conditions are ignored.
