I am having problems in figuring out what is the proper way to copy
a pascal sting in think C.  The only way I know is converting the pascal
sting to a C string then doing a standard c strcpy and then convert the
c strings back to pascal strings.  This pretty nasty seeing that in
pascal we just have to use a simple assignment with an atomic operator
(eg. thisString := thatString).

If anyone has a better way please let me know through e-mail.  Thanks.
