[KLUG Programming] substr in C?

[Tony Gettig]

Gentlemen,

THANK YOU!  

Dropping the * made the difference. I get confused with pointers and strings, 
and their relationship at times, but it is clearer now. An array of pointers 
takes up more space than an array of char. Man, I wish I could figure things 
out with a quick glance before lunch like that. :) 

Thanks again. I super appreciate it. See you all tonight!

Tony
