</AOL>, though that's not the reason for the wrapper:

  char *my_strdup (const char *str)
  {
    return str ? strdup (str) : NULL;
  }

would do very nicely.

That still leaves no selected multiplex when "set time from broadcast" is
initially enabled (i.e. TimeSource = 0, TimeTransponder = 0) - and your
preferred fix will cause cMenuEditChanItem::Set() to do nothing. Is this
intended? If not, then you should consider the second part of my patch.

BTW, what should happen to that setting when all entries for the channels in
that multiplex are deleted?
