First, you must be certain that you have
enough room to append a byte to the existing
string w/o violating memory limits.
Then, despite the two responses you've had
showing creating a second 2-byte string &
calling StrCat(), I'd suggest a more basic
approach:
/* Assuming "char LRC;" and "char *tempbuffer;" */
int len = StrLen(tempbuffer); /* find the length */
tempbuffer[len++] = = LRC; /* append char */
tempbuffer[len] = '\0'; /* ensure termination */
