String representations in f90VB

As indicated earlier in this guide, Fortran only supports its intrinsic string type (Fortran Strings). f90VB extends Fortran functionality by offering the necessary subroutines and functions to handle other string types not supported directly by the language. With f90VB you can handle and create Multibyte, OLE Strings and BStrings. This section describes the way f90VB represents these types in Fortran.
