                     35: for the string. If <CODE>StrAllocCopy</CODE> is called with a non-NULL
                     36: dest, then this is freed before the new value is assigned so that only
                     37: the <EM>last</EM> string created has to be freed by the user. If

                     39: then it is equivalent to <CODE>StrAllocCopy</CODE>.
