The user can do everything with it and has the reponsability of freeing it. If there is enough space in the buffer, string will be NULL-terminated, else only the portion which fits is copied. Basically, the only legal operation is to use StrTemp where the STRv is not modified. Changes all characters of the string which are contained in the 'from' character set into the corresponding character in the 'to' charcter set. Removes leading and trailing spaces or, if specified, other characters.
Additional arguments control identation and prefix.
Expect this to become involved in, for example, reading sequences from acedb databases, but perhaps as a separate filter program. There are also other acedb functions which could be useful and should be explored later. GNU C Library Could be interesting. Documentation for release 1.09.1 is available at Sanger. Could be an alternative, or a supplement, to the SRS libraries.
