Morning All...

I read somewhere, but can't find it now, where if I declare a proc something like this:

procedure testme(aCString : __cstring__);

and call it like this:

var str1 : string (20); ... str1:='Just a TEST'; testme(str1);

the compiler will generate code to convert the string schema type to a real CString with '/0' termination and everything... Am I right or was I seeing things? (it is rather late here in Las Vegas, NV, USA) BTW, I am using ver 2.0 GPC on Linux and when I tried it, got an 'incompatible type' error. No suprise there :^}

Why do we have __cstring__ anyway? It seems as though we could get away with just declaring a type like: CString = ^Char Unless it does something else I don't see yet |-)
