Cset++ compiler v.2.1.1 breaks when doing strncpy

Question:

AIX level 3.2.5 when doing strncpy with buffer, blows up with parameters to
function giving error message 1506-280. 
Worked under earlier compiler xlC++/6000.
 
Response:

   Using Cset++ demo version 2.1.1.0 of CD-ROM.  
   C Set++ compiles .c files in extended mode by default.     
   You must compile with the -qlanglvl=ansi flag for ANSI mode.
   If you do not use ansi mode you will get the following error:  
      1506-280  (E) Function argument assignment between types 
          "const char**" and "char**" is not allowed.
   C Set ++ for AIX has it's own C compiler and doesn't call xlc
   like XL C++ did. The compiler is working as designed.
   They tried it using .C and had no problems.
   Cset++ was designed to be portable between different platforms
   like OS/2 and AS/400. This portability results in the C compiler to be
   independent of the system. While xlC/6000 utilizes the same "back-end"
   that other 6000 compilers do. This results in the compilers "sharing"
   subroutines and libraries.
