Markus, it really depends.
You do not want to put strlen(string) as you would have absolutely no
room for expansion.

Using pstrings, fixed size (1024) strings, you can easily put
sizeof(pstring) (==1024) and you have room to grow until 1024 bytes.

Instead when we change to allocated strings, we are forced to make a new
set of substitution functions that will realloc strings as needed.

I will take the issue to do that asap, as I'm a strong supporter of
allocated strings against pstrings.

I will code up in days (if I have time of course) a series of
alloc_substitute...() functions that will acccept a string in input and
return a new allocated string as output.

Simo.
