This is sample code they included with the httpd daemon. Anyway I'm not so sure it's all that bad. It does exactly the right thing and I can't think of a better way (in C) to do it. > I heartily recommend Carel's advice to just use SCAN. Yes, I've used SCAN plenty of times. I already had the above piece of code for my CGI stuff. It already did what I wanted. And honestly SCAN hasn't seemed that much better (except that it is already part of RPG, which doesn't matter if I make the getword() function a C module and just pass stuff to it from RPG).
