Your compiler doesn't allow string assignments?  It's been my
experience that zero-based ARRAYs OF CHAR are
assignment-compatible with constant character arrays of equal or
lesser size.  E.g., FST allows:

    Jim, TopSpeed Modula-2 does allow string assignmnents; but, depending on the lenght of the string as compared to the maximum contents of the string, the string may not be null terminated.

    My AssignStr procedure guarantees that all strings are null terminated.
