Please note that that string copy (and the others for the 2nd and 3rd args)
have the potential to overwrite data in the calling routine.  There is no
check to compare the length of the resultant string to the size of the
buffer which will receive it.

Since this is intended for use w/ C, might it be better to call the
C RTL routine "strcpy" to do the work?
