It certainly is not, as you say, a placebo.
You don't have to use such a "conversion" in your Search procedure
which acts as a support for the system "Find" because you've already
got the converted string (pointer) in the parameter block.
However, if you want to use FindStrInStr for some other purpose (like I
did),
you must prepare (convert) the string to search for.
