/* getlong -- prompt user for long
*
* Usage: i = getlong (prompt,min,max,defalt)
* long i,min,max,defalt;
* char *prompt;
*
* Getlong prints the message: prompt (min to max) [defalt]
* and accepts a line of input from the user. If the input
* is not null or numeric, an error message is printed; otherwise,
* the value is converted to an long (or the value "defalt" is
* substituted if the input is null). Then, the value is
* checked to ensure that is lies within the range "min" to "max".
* If it does not, an error message is printed. As long as
* errors occur, the cycle is repeated; when a legal value is
* entered, this value is returned by getlong.
* On error or EOF in the standard input, the default is returned.
*
* HISTORY
* $Log: getlong.c,v $
* Revision 1.2 90/12/11 17:54:48 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 on EOF or error in standard input.
*
* 20-Nov-79 Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
* Rewritten for VAX.
