Re: $>z"

Glenn,

>(addr cnt--addr) that is reentrant and compatible with multiple threads?

This is seemingly impossible unless you are willing to allocate
>from the global memory pool another buffer and guarantee that the
program will eventually release it. Reason: you are asking for a
string of CNT+1 characters to fit into a buffer at ADDR which
is only guaranteed to be CNT characters long. If the input is the
address of a counted string in memory, you can use:

: $>Z ( c-addr -- z-addr )
   DUP COUNT 2DUP + 1- >R OVER 1- SWAP CMOVE 0 R> C! ;
