One problem is that the real way you are supposed to compare strings is to use the srtcmp() function, with the two inputs being the two strings. I believe it returns 1 if true and something else if false. I'm not sure if it's case sensitive, but I believe it is. Also, if when you say you want to pause the program to mean you want it to wait for user input such as enter, there is a real way to do it but I can't remember off the top of my head. Anyways, I hope that was a bit of help.

    (as a note, there is no strgcpy() to my knowledge. it's properly spelled strcpy(). That's a fail on my part)

    It was a great help. for one thing, I'm being too slow today to remember strcmp(). I looked it up and made myself feel pretty much dumber than I already had been feeling today. Another thing, yes, it returns 1 if true, and pretty much any number BUT 1 if false. I have yet to figure out any pattern to what none "1" number the program picks.
