Summary	0000300: keywords that create pre-computation instructions for use in interface functions for windows
Description	string lengths should be precomputed in the String class: surface.WriteText(xx+5,yy+dy,buf,strlen(buf)); this is not optimal. surface.WriteText(xx+5,yy+dx,string, string.length); String and char * should be interchangeable, and throw a compiler warning when you overstep the bounds of the functional subset of char *.
Tags	No tags attached.

This same optimization (only intermittently updating the string) could be true of the font library. See Open Art Engine extension re: generating typographic output for graphics.
