; Searches a buffer for a specified pattern. In case of a mismatch,
; uses the value of the mismatched byte to skip across as many
; potential match locations as possible (partial Boyer-Moore).
; Returns start offset of first match searching forward, or NULL if
; no match is found.
; Requires that the pattern be no longer than 255 bytes, and that
; there be a match for the pattern somewhere in the buffer (ie., a
; copy of the pattern should be placed as a sentinel at the end of
; the buffer if the pattern isn't already known to be in the buffer).
; Tested with TASM 2.0.
; C near-callable as:
; unsigned char * FindString(unsigned char * BufferPtr,
; unsigned int BufferLength, unsigned char * PatternPtr,
; unsigned int PatternLength);
