  14. To get a pascal string from a FW_CString use:
  15.  
  16.  FW_CString::ExportPascal(FW_PascalChar *buffer)
  17.  
  18.  
  19. To make a FW_CString from a pascal string I guess you could use the 
  20. constructor:
  21.  
  22. FW_CString(const char * text, FW_ByteCount byteLength)
  23.  
  24. but I haven't tried it yet.
