> looked in to the vm_strings.cpp class and have seen that the VM initialises
> the fields for String object in the init_fields method.
> I was thinking of adding the new filed I have crested here and recompiling
> the code.
> Am I on the right track?
> Also I would like to know which DLL file holds the code for vm_string.cpp
> class and how can I recompile the DLL ?
> Your help will be greatly appreciated as I have been struggling with this
> issue for more than a month now.
