Probably the aesiest way is to modify the existing String itself. It will not
take much time.
I remember I ported the whole BC 3.1 classlib to use under MSC 7 and MSVC
1.528. (Nasty work, those so-called C++ comilers can't handle even templates.
:( ). And I happenes to use String mush frequently than CString. The only
extension I did was operator + and +=.

There are a plenty floating around. Look into snippers for example. Or search
the internet C++ related archives. I'm sure you find at least 4 packages to
work with.

There should be no problems. But to use with the rest of the classlib they
must probably be made descendant of Object.
