About making a clean function destructive? Heck if I know... If you wanted to remove the strdup(), the caller would have to accept the destructive nature of the function or remember to pass strdup(str) as the first parameter instead of just str. This would be okay (i.e., no memory leak) since the pointer is reused. But it still makes ugly and non-intuitive code. Better to leave it as is. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
