I didn't follow the problem from the beginning, but I noticed other
problems with string copying. I.e. StrNCopy(CharPtr dst, CharPtr src, Word
len) (I'm not sure about last 'Word' - I don't have the manual here, but
it would work!) wouldn't work properly unless you declare:
Char dst[]=" "; //leave enough space
CharPtr src;
...
tmp=StrNCopy(dst,src,StrLen(src));
So, when I declare 'CharPtr dst', it doesn't work!
I'm not sure what the real nature of your problem is, but hope this would
help!
