- /* getbool -- ask user a yes/no question
- *
- * Usage: i = getbool (prompt, defalt);
- *
- * Example: do {...} while (getbool ("More?",1));
- *
- * Prints prompt string, asks user for response. Defalt is
- * 0 (no) or 1 (yes), and is used if user types just carriage return,
- * or on end-of-file or error in the standard input.
- *
- * HISTORY
- * $Log: getbool.c,v $
- * Revision 1.2 90/12/11 17:53:39 mja
- * Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
- *
- * 28-Apr-85 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Modified for 4.2 BSD. Now uses stderr for output.

- * 23-Oct-82 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
- * Added code to return default if gets returns NULL.
- *
- * 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
