The second parameter to "strtok()" is a character string consisting 
of the delimiter characters. If the parameter is defined as

     *   VALUE OPTIONS(*STRING)

then multiple delimiters should work just as easily as a single 
delimiter. (And I see no reason why that parameter shouldn't be 
prototyped that way to begin with!)
