On 21 Oct 93  18:06:00, Steven Pasztor had this to say to Michael Baker:

 MB> #include 
 MB> char * P2Cstr(char * str) {
 MB>   str[str[0] + 1] = '\0';
 MB>   return &str[1];
 MB> }
 MB> char * C2Pstr(char * str) {
 MB>   /* this assumes str is a pointer to Pstr[1]
 MB>      where Pstr is an array of char */
 MB>   char * Pstr = str - 1;
 MB>   Pstr[0] = strlen(str);
 MB>   return Pstr;
 MB> }

 SP> Hmmm... I'll make sure I try them out...
 
Let me know how it goes.  Remember that you will have to be extra
careful with memory allocation as making conversions in either direction
assumes that there is an extra byte allocated either at the start or end
of the string.  If you have access to C++ all of this could be put in a
class along with code to check that memory is allocated correctly.

Michael.
