Variable_Length
There was  a discussion some times agoi about simple variable length
strings... Here they are. Nothing fancy, but convenient for simple storage
and manipulation of strings.

Debug
This is a sophisticated tracing facility. It works by adding tracing calls
into the code, but you can run with "silent" trace, or put the trace into a
file.

It is especially useful in the case of multi-task programs, since for
example imbrication levels of subprograms calls are managed on a per-task
basis.

We claim that this package is free from race condition and will behave as
advertised under any circumstance, including aborting any task at any time.
Actually, we took it as an exercise in reliable programming (much more than
was needed just for a simple tracing facility). It can be quite useful to
read for those interested in reliable programming, multi-tasking, and new
95 features.

Enjoy, and don't hesitate to send your remarks.
