/*
 *  LIBRARY FUNCTION
 *
 *	fgetlr    get logical record from a file
 *
 *  KEY WORDS
 *
 *	fgetlr
 *	string functions
 *
 *  SYNOPSIS
 *
 *	char *fgetlr(bp,bpsize,fp)
 *	char *bp;
 *	int bpsize;
 *	FILE *fp;
 *
 *  DESCRIPTION
 *
 *	Reads the next logical record from stream "fp" into buffer "bp"
 *	until next unescaped newline, "bpsize" minus one characters
 *	have been read, end of file, or read error.
 *	The last character read is followed by a NULL.
 *
 *	A logical record may span several physical records by having
 *	each newline escaped with the standard C escape character
 *	(backslash).
 *
 *	This is particularly useful for things like the termcap
 *	file, where a single entry is too long for one physical
 *	line, yet needs to be treated as a single record.
 *
 *	Returns its first argument unless an end of file or read
 *	error occurs prior to any characters being read.
 *
 *  BUGS
 *
 *	The only way to know if read was terminated due to buffer size
 *	limitation is to test for a newline before the terminating
 *	null.
 *

/*
 *  PSEUDO CODE
 *
 *	Begin fgetlr
 *	    If read fails then
 *		Return NULL.
 *	    Else
 *		Find out how many characters were read.
 *		Initialize pointer to terminating null.
 *		If last char read was newline then
 *		    If newline was escaped then
 *			Replace backslash with the newline.
 *			Replace newline with null.
 *			Read and append more.
 *		    End if
 *		End if
 *		Return buffer pointer.
