962.0. "RTL "STRING_ZONE" ?" by ACISS2::LENNIG (Dave (N8JCX), MIG, @CYO) Fri Feb 14 1997 08:36

    I'm trying to do an update to FAKE_VM to track dynamic strings better.
    
    I've been looking over the VMS source listings for LIBRTL, and I see
    that the string related RTL routines make use of a pre-declared zone 
    descriptor data structure called "STRING_ZONE". My questions are:
    
    1) How can I obtain the address of this structure?
    
    2) Is this data structure "complete"? ie assuming I can get a pointer
       to it, can I feed it to the normal VM routines as a zone descriptor?
    
    Thanks,
    	Dave

    Ahh... 
    
    LIB$GET_VM_POINTERS(2) returns the default zone id
    LIB$GET_VM_POINTERS(3) returns the string zone id

    For some reason I couldn't post the reply I wanted to, kept getting link
    exits. MAILed response to Dave instead.
