This has got me befuddled...
I want to read a string passed to a internal proceedure. You know a
SUB or FUNCTION defined within the PB source or one of its include
files.
Within the proceedure I can use the following to get the handle.
SUB ReadString (str AS STRING)
ASM LDS BX,str
ASM MOV AX,[BX]
[...]
The above puts the string *handle* in AX. However, that doesn't tell
me where the string is. And, I don't know how to locate the string. I
tried to use CALL GETSTRLOC. but that doesn't work, since it only
available to *external* proceedures.
So, I'm stuck as far as pointing to a string area.
BYW, I am aware of STRPTR and STRPTR32. And, I will be investigating
them shortly. But, I consider them a roundabout way of getting to a
string. I want to aboid them, if possible.
Any idears?
