 wxString is a class which represents a character string of arbitrary length (limited by

-As most programs use character strings, the standard C library provides quite a

-\helpref{IsEmpty()}{IsEmpty} verifies whether the string is empty (returning
-TRUE for NULL pointers), \helpref{Strlen()}{Strlen} also handles NULLs correctly
-and returns 0 for them and \helpref{Stricmp()}{Stricmp} is just a
-platform-independent version of case-insensitive string comparison function
-known either as stricmp() or strcasecmp() on different platforms.
