Thanks for the example programs!  They make it easier to
implement.

I must admit that I do not really like this CString/PChar
stuff:  All this is C, not Pascal, and I am implementing it
for compatibility's sake only - both with Borland compilers
and with C libraries which exist on many platforms and are
important to support.  However, this will only work in GPC
together with the (*X+*) directive.
