2.9 frystyk 33:
34: These two functions are dynamic versions of <CODE>strcpy</CODE> and
35: <CODE>strcat</CODE>. They use <CODE>malloc</CODE> for allocating space
36: for the string. If <CODE>StrAllocCopy</CODE> is called with a non-NULL
37: dest, then this is freed before the new value is assigned so that only
38: the <EM>last</EM> string created has to be freed by the user. If
39: <CODE>StrAllocCat</CODE> is called with a NULL pointer as destination
40: then it is equivalent to <CODE>StrAllocCopy</CODE>.
