Sorry, Vince. I agree with Tim. You're grasping at straws here.

I "almost" agree with that assesment Jerry. However, what I wrote above is
what is in the current manual. However, if I had read further I would have
discovered it was deficient.

This pointer may be used with fgets(), fgetss(), and fwrite().

I was only stating what the manual says, not suggesting anything in that
respect. If quoting from the manual is a "suggestion " as opposed to an
observation I agree totaly. That they are all I/O functions should have
been obvious to me also, but I missed that too @@
Having said that I agree Tim was right that I should have stayed out of it.
And I apologise for my testy reply.
Highest regards,
Vince
