ANSI (Single-byte), Multibyte and Unicode stringsString Fundamentals
Programming languages and operating systems can handle strings of characters in different ways. This chapter gives you a general introduction to the different conventions and string types used by Fortran, Windows, Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications. Although strictly speaking you do not need to know much about this topic to use f90VB and its BStrings module, this chapter will help you understand how these strings are handled and what the f90VB functions do. This chapter does not pretend to be a complete introduction to the different string standards available, but hopefully it will give you the basic information you need to understand how f90VB works.
