- Just so you guys know, if your compiler can handle ABSOLUTE variables, it's
- really pretty efficient to do this:
-
- var
- str: string[31];
- len: byte absolute str;
-
- then instead of using "length(str)" you just use "len"
-
- Neat? changing the string's length is alot easier too.
-
- like...
-
- inc(len); str[len]:=' '; {add a space to end}
- len:=0; {make null string}

- ... I know for sure that I am always wrong
