	DrawString doesn't take null-terminated strings, it takes Pascal
strings. Try the following:

	DrawString("\pThis is a string.");

	or

	sprintf(s, "\pThis is a string.");
	DrawString(s);

It worked right in Desmet and Megamax because (as has already been described)
both of those compilers do the string conversion from C to Pascal auto-
matically.
