Re: Warning message regarding string length

[Kenneth R Leach]

Steve,

I will ask my developers about it and get back to you. I am not sure as I
do not write code. However, older compilers do not seem to complain about
it.

Also, I should mention that this code has been compiled under GCC 2.95.2
without generating this warning. Of course, that was a precompiled binary
release versus the source release we compiled for 3.3.1. Therefore, the
2.95.2 could have been compiled with some sort of option to not generate
these warnings.

Thanks.

Shouldn't there be commas between each string?
