This is a pretty silly little c program, but it highlights a problem that I
am having with djgpp. This will compile in tc++2.01 and work perfectely.
However, although it compiles okay in djgpp it will not scan with a scanset
after the first scan. (I hope you follow that.)
It will, however, scan without a scanset after the first scanset; this is
not much use to me in the application I am coding.
    I tried using copiler option such as -fwritable-strings this did not
work. I could not try -traditional as it caused problems with the headers.
If anyone could help me with this it would be great.

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{
 char a[25];
    int b,c;

    printf("Please input a number ");
    scanf("%5[0-9]s",a);
    b=(atoi(a));
 printf("b= %d \n",b);
 fflush(stdin);

    printf("Please input a number ");
    scanf("%5[0-9]s",a);
    c=(atoi(a));
 printf("b= %d c= %d ",b,c);
 fflush(stdin);

    printf("Enter some Text ");
 scanf("%5[a-z]s",a);
 printf("b= %d c= %d text= %s ",b,c,a);
 fflush(stdin);
    return(0);
}
