But where did you see a C string ? In C you have a pointer to a memory
space terminated by 'nul' !

This is not a string to me. And because C does not have strings, there is
no operator on them you have to use strcmp, strcpy, strcat, strncmp...

Is that what a string is for C programmers :)

Pascal.
