Hi
I often use shortstrings across library borders for convenience and pchar for longer strings. I have a couple of routines for easy switching between string & pchar, it's sort of a mix

A while ago I posted a "StringStack" in one of @Joanna's threads, that class has all the string/pchar functions in it, see if you can find it

This nifty mix makes my life easier, at least

Regards Benny
