is ggets() a standard c function?
I just tried to use this function in turbo C compiler.
The program actually compiles but on trying to run, the linker throws
an error:
Linker Error: Underfined symbol '_ggets' in module fidlee.c

If ggets() is a standard function, it should be available on all the
different flavours of C compiler right?

You'll need to link with the library or C module that has the
definition of ggets in it.

A function called ggets was written by one of hte regulars here. I'm
sure he'll post, but a quick google should turn up a reference.

Yes.

No, it is a public domain function from CBFalconer (can be found at

Pretty well covers it. However it is written in purely standard C,
so that it should compiler and execute correctly anywhere.

Of course not. It's an gift from CBFalconer, a famous c.l.c. regular,
and you'll find its code on its site.

You linker sounds seriously broken... Please don't retype but copy and
paste.

Surely, it should.

I wouldn't go that far. All the different flavors? How old are you?
ggets is not a Standard C function. Assuming Chuck F. did his diligence
and wrote ggets to C90 spec, is Borland Turbo C a Standard C compiler? I
always thought Turbo C was 16-bit DOS.

Hey, Chuck! This one's for you! Fame at last, eh?

Pretty much, yes, if you'll excuse the odd bug or two.

So? What has that to do with it?
