This is exactly what I changed to. Works fine as long as the string I am using
does not exceed the length. Even for a string that varies greatly in length I
can use a static MemPtr and allocate/dellocate dynamically.
I found I need to watch out when I pass this string to another function, in
which that util function is called again!
