I could be wrong, but sizeof(String) returns the number of chars. Are you
wanting the number of chars (elements), or number of bytes (an obscene word
in portable C)?

What happens with the above line, does the compiler return an error, or are
you getting unpredictable results?

Assuming that the above expression is able to be evaluated at compile time,
there should be no problems, as you'll get Max_Length = sizeof(String) / 1
(on a DOS platform).

Cheers.
