	I have several applications that use the gets() function. I'm sure
as everyone is aware, every time gets is called, it displays an error
message "warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe." After seeing
it literally hundreds of times, I'm getting tired of seeing it and it
makes the application look tacky. Is there anyway to suppress this
message?
