I don't know quite what the objectors objections were to C strings, but last June rusty@sdcarl submitted a bunch of functions to net.sources that allowed one to handle strings in a PL/1ish manner. It was interesting, you might want to take a look at it. Cordially, Geo Swan, Integrated Studies, University of Waterloo (allegra|decvax) !watmath!watarts!geo
