Title : Exists, Findfile and see how to access strings.
Keywords:
STRINGSEGMENT STRINGPOINTER STRSEG STRPTR STRINGS
This example includes the source code for a PBU file, and a demo with full
remarks. Shown is how to access the new strings in PowerBASIC. These new
ways are necessary because of the unlimited string space in PowerBASIC (no
more 64k limit).
Also shown is how this was accomplished in Turbo Basic.
The demo, DemoEx.Bas (or DemoEx.EXE to see it run if you don't have
PowerBASIC) is a simple sample to show how to access the unit.
