The RedimStr code was *lifted* from my commercial toolkit for PowerBASIC
(PBTools:Professional) which is why the source code was not included.
I can tell you that PowerBASIC 3.x will always be *downward* compatible
with linking units.  So if there is a 3.3 release, it will continue to
link units from 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.  When the next major version of the
compiler is released, it will likely have REDIM PRESERVE built-in, so my
code will no longer be necessary.
However, if you'd still like to have the code, I am sure something can
be worked out.
