strncat problem

[N R A]

This may be teaching people to suck eggs but .....

I looked in my Borland library reference and the syntax for 'strncat' was 
listed as

#include <string.h>
char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t maxlen);

and states that 
"strncat copies at most 'maxlen' characters of 'src' to the end of 'dest' 
and then appends a null character."
"It is available on UNIX and is defined in ANSI C."

Doesn't that mean that your original call was missing the 'maxlen' 
parameter ??
