Action
Instruct the compiler to use big strings.
Syntax
$BIGSTRINGS
Remarks
By default each string has a maximum length of 254 bytes. A null character is used to mark the end of a string.
When a longer string is needed, the compiler can not use bytes for passing the length. A word is needed to hold the length.
The $BIGSTRINGS directive will include the bigstrings.lbx and will handle all string routines different when parameters are passed that has influence on the length.
The alternative library has modified routines for code that is not compatible with big strings.
The library is not tested with all string operations yet. Report problems to support.
