The handle is allocated, and I can even search for the end of the
string and get the right value for the length!
I was originally planning to resize the string resource as I modified
it, but I can't do that if I don't know the correct length. I suppose
I could just be careful never to make it longer, and leave the chunk
the same size. I had hoped for a more elegant solution.
Any ideas?
Code example:
h = DmGet1Resource('tSTR', myString);
strsize = MemHandleSize(h);
// strsize = 288628, which is much too big
loc = MemHandleLock(h);
strsize = StrLen(loc);
//strsize = 288628 again wrong, but at least it is consistent!
loc = source;
while (*loc != 0) {i++; loc++;}
// i=3283 this is the correct value

MemHandleSize(0) acts differently on my several devices and
simulators/emulators. For example, 700p returns 0, while the
simulator (T-C this time) crashed. I don't have my 680 near by to
test, but it may return 290K.

I know that it is about 3200 bytes long, but get over 290K as strsize
from the following code!
Any suggestions welcome.
I am using pilrc to compile the resources, SKD 5, and gcc.
// myString is a resource about 3800 bytes long
h = DmGet1Resource('tSTR', myString);
strsize = MemHandleSize(h);
