 __PARGRAB4
 Get parameter and grab 4 times it's memory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Function:
 __PARGRAB4:FAR

 Description:
 This is the exact same function as __PARGRAB, except that it allocates four
 times as much memory as the size of the parameter supplied. For operations
 on strings where more than the actual size is required. Also use __RETFREE
 to return the string to Clipper and free the memory.

 Example:
 See __PARGRAB
 __PARGRAB4 can be of usage where you know you'll possibly need more than
 2 times, but less than 4 times the length of the string. An example of it's
 usage is in one my own routines (not included in Expand), where I convert
 straight text to WordPerfect readable text (for Merges, or just the making
 of documents).
