Joe, Damian

Progress so far:

Problem 2:
    Probably trivial to do but say I wanted to copy from 
    one string to another but from some point in the middle
    until the end how to do this?
    in fortran i would
   
  write(string2,'(a)')  string1(22,35)

Problem 3:
    scanf works with the input channel, fscanf works with
    a file, how do I work with a string?

Any chance of helping out on this and I will continue to
sort out other filters needed for the meeting.

Regards,

Jon
