ie: malloc in copystring.
I don't know what was wrong with the standard strcpy program
Would you recommend using a signal handler for the malloc problem
or just exit.
If you run out of ram, it might hang the program (and the OS)
In any event, for anyone following this thread, the malloc command in C allocates
a block of memory for future use, so properly writing an allocation should look something
like:
char *p;
if((p=malloc(1000))==NULL){
fprintf( STDERR, "%s", "Out of RAM - can not allocate more memory");
exit(0);
}
