OK, Thanks. 

BTW, I found another bug with DJGPP 

if you have program that just uses :
 
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h> 

...and you use a function from ctype.h - as I did with isspace(), without including ctype.h in your includes ... DJGPP/GCC will NOT complain about it 
and will still compile it. I just discovered it and made the correction
to add #include<ctype.h> to save myself from future headaches. 

...Secondly, I found this strange, but some how the ANSI C or C++ standard doesn't consider the escape sequence '\b' (for backspace) as a white-space character when I use isspace() to check individual characters in a c-string. 

I just wanted to mention these two observations...
