Is there a chance the code was originally written under old Solaris? At least in Solaris 2.4 there isn't a system supplied bcopy(). I know we had to write a library with assorted string functions to get a *lot* of stuff to build under 2.4.

Yes, it was written originally for SunOS 4.x. The lack of a system supplied bcopy() in Sol 2.4 explains why the code's author did that. Sol 10 does have a system supplied bcopy(). You #include to use it.

(who am I talking to here? anyone I know?)
