When you use FrmCopyTitle, the size (StrLen) of the title must not be larger
than the original title or other parts of the form will be over-written and
your app may crash. When you use FrmSetTitle, you are passing it a pointer
to a new title for which you have allocated memory, so you aren't
over-writing anything and it works. The message under OS4 ("Form.c,
Line:5630, Text for object #0 in form #1000 is too long") describes your
original error. (The form title must be object #0.)
An alternative method to fix this problem is to make sure that the original
form title, set at design time, is as long or longer than any title you will
use at run time.
