Bob -

Short of going into assembler (see below), I don't know of a compile time
method. As you surmise, the sizeof will get you the size of the pointer.

Assembly style would be something like this:

string fcc "Holy cow"
       fcb $0d strlen set .-string

You could probably bracket them with #asm and #endasm and include it in your C
program.

You could get an idea by using the CC options to go to assembler with source
embedded as comments. Then, edit the assembly source to include the 'len set
.-string_start' stuff.

Pete

P.S. Make the '.'s '*''s
