It shouldn't be any problem with 'myCR' if it is treated according to
current architecture. In other words,
if (CreatorID == 'myCR')
presumably will be always OK, while
if (CreatorID > 'myCR')
will by OK if first char ('m') goes to MSB, or bad if it goes to LSB.
On the contrary a code like WinDrawChars(&CreatorID, 4, x, y)
is protable if first char goes to LSB.
