__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).
