[Coco] Is there a string library for basic09?

[Willard Goosey]

There is a MID subroutine module floating around (maybe on the old CiS archive?) Also LINPUT (line input!) And various sound/beep modules. There's ARGB which sounds useful but I haven't actually tried yet.

Lots of graphic subroutine modules.  AFAIK there's no total string library.

Subject [Coco] Is there a string library for basic09? 
 
I've been thinking that Basic09 has some deficiencies and have narrowed it 
down to incomplete string handling commands - in my opinion.  No Mid string 
command, no Hex string command, etc. But since I am planning on learning C 
on the Coco, and C seems to be THE language in which to implement a string 
library for Basic09, I figure I'll give it a shot.

But I don't want to reinvent the wheel... especially since my wheel is 
probably going to be less than perfectly round at first.  So I have to ask 
if there is already a string library out there for basic09?  I've looked, 
but there is stuff buried in those archives that could be a string library 
for basic09 and I'd never know.

There are a lot of C string libraries out there on the 'net, so porting one 
to the Coco is a real possibility and will probably produce the best 
results.

Thanks
