They put in the strn??? versions at the last minute, but left in the str???n versions, and documented str???n. 3BSD didn't change this. 4BSD left them both in but documented the str?nnn versions. I have many times claimed that Berkeley should take out str???n so that software developed there would work elsewhere, but was told "we want software developed anywhere to work on our system". Mark
