What is wrong with endouing "gets" with a limit?
(I admit that that which I am about to suggest is strange ....)

	char *gets(char *s, size_t l, char *k);
Up to  l - 1  characters are stord at "s".  If newline
follows the last input character stord at "s", "*k" is made
newline (which too is taken from the input), otherwize 0.
It is EOF onlie if "gets" returns NULL and "*k" is made 0.
