   Since the initialization of a variable ensures that all
   members not specifically assigned a value will be assigned
   the value 0, one could do this, also:
char *CharCat(char *szStr, int iChar)
{
   char szTempStr[2] = "";
   szTempStr[0] = char(iChar);
   strcat(szStr, szTemp);
   return szStr;
}
   The use or creation of a string class would still allow all
   of this to go much quicker, since one could keep an int value
   denoting the present length of the string as a class member
   and append the new data at that point without having to look
   for the string terminator. A few clock cycles here and there
   in frequently used code will add up.
