/***
*char *strncpy(dest, source, count) - copy at most n characters
*
*Purpose:
*	Copies count characters from the source string to the
*	destination.  If count is less than the length of source,
*	NO NULL CHARACTER is put onto the end of the copied string.
*	If count is greater than the length of sources, dest is padded
*	with null characters to length count.
*
*
*Entry:
*	char *dest - pointer to destination
*	char *source - source string for copy
*	unsigned count - max number of characters to copy
*
*Exit:
*	returns dest
*
*Exceptions:
