He's not missing as much as you think; your posted example definition of
strins() had a bug in it such that it actually implemented the functionality
of strcat()!

I didn't say anything at the time because I figured it was an obvious
mistake and somebody else would probably nitpick it anyway.

If anyone's still confused, this is what he *meant*:

strins(d, s)
	char	*d, *s;
{
	char	tmp[256];

	strcpy(tmp, s);
	strcat(tmp, d);
	strcpy(d, tmp);
}
