;strrev.asm - reverse a string in place

;
;Purpose:
; defines _strrev() - reverse a string in place (not including
; '\0' character)

;char *_strrev(string) - reverse a string in place
;
;Purpose:
; Reverses the order of characters in the string. The terminating
; null character remains in place.
;
; Algorithm:
; char *
; _strrev (string)
; char *string;
; {
; char *start = string;
; char *left = string;
; char ch;
;
; while (*string++)
; ;
; string -= 2;
; while (left < string)
; {
; ch = *left;
; *left++ = *string;
; *string-- = ch;
; }
; return(start);
; }
;
; NOTE: There is a check for an empty string in the following code.
; Normally, this would fall out of the "cmp si,di" instruction in the
; loop portion of the routine. However, if the offset of the empty
; string is 0 (as it could be in large model), then the cmp does not
; catch the empty string and the routine essentially hangs (i.e., loops
; moving bytes one at a time FFFFh times). An explicit empty string
; check corrects this.
;
;Entry:
; char *string - string to reverse
;
;Exit:
; returns string - now with reversed characters
;
;Uses:
;
;Exceptions:
