       acter new.  Converts string to integer and saves	 it  in	 *ip.	Causes
       signals to be caught by the setsig1() function.	General purpose signal
       handling routine.  Gets a pointer to the simple name of	full  pathname
       s.   Finds the end of string.  Places a substring of string s in desti‐
       nation using the offset origin and length.  Copies string s into desti‐
       nation and replaces any character in old with the corresponding charac‐
       ters in new.  Deletes the lock file.  Gets the user's login  directory.
       Defaults	 user  exit  routine.  Gets the user's login name.  Determines
