Purpose
=======
        This unit has two purposes. It can be used to facilitate situations
where a programmer would like to compile two versions of a program - one
for Turbo Pascal for Windows and one for Turbo Pascal 6.0. It can also be
used in its own right to implement null terminated strings on a program
that never intends to go near Turbo Pascal for Windows. 

What are Null terminated Strings
================================

     A null terminated string consists of a collection of characters, the
last of which is always chr(0). Null terminated strings are also, in my
opinion, far more versatile than pascal style strings. This is because they
can be much longer; pascal style strings can only be 255 characters long.


Registering
===========

     Since I have to eat, live etc. I do not work for nothing. Therefore if
you would like to use this unit you must register. It is also of
considerable advantage for you to register because you will get the latest,
fastest and most debugged version of the unit. I will continue to update
this unit and put more functions in it since I use it in my own software.
     One can register for private use or for commercial use. By private use
I mean that any program that is written that uses this unit must have a
very narrow distribution and NO MONEY MUST BE CHARGED for the program. In
other words I don't mind someone writing a program using this unit and
giving it to their friends providing appropriate credit is given. By
commercial use I mean every other situation other than described above. 
     Commercial applications should include information on the proposed use
for the unit, the expected circulation of the software and a suggested
price for buying the licence to use the unit. 

     Privately registered copies of the string unit will display a one
     line credit with no pause in place of the shareware message.
     Commercially registered copies display no credit line at all.

     Registration forms are included in the file Register.Frm


Bugs
====

     I have made every attempt to ensure that this unit works correctly.
Much as I would like to - I cannot guarantee that it is bug free. However I
use the unit in every program I write so I trust it! Nevertheless neither I
nor Oxford Computer Journals Limited accept any responsibility for loss or
damages financial, broken marriages or other caused through the use of this
unit or the use of programs using this unit. 
     However, should you find a problem with the unit please let me know by
whichever method is most convenient and I will fix it.
