+Name:	McciAdkLib_SafeCopyString()
+
+Function:
+	String copy rotuine that is reasonably safe to use.
+
+Definition:
+	size_t
+	McciAdkLib_SafeCopyString(
+		char *pBuffer,
+		size_t nBuffer,
+		size_t iBuffer,
+		const char *pString
+		);
+
+Description:
+	This routine copyies memory from the input string to the given
+	offset in the buffer, and appends a '\0', taking into account
+	the size of the buffer.
+
+	pBuffer is a buffer that has nBuffer bytes allocated to it.
+	pString points to a '\0'-terminated string (ANSI, UTF-8, etc --
+	encoding is not critical as long as '\0' always designates the
+	end of the string.
+
+	Bytes from pString are copied to pBuffer + iBuffer.  In no case
+	will data be written outside the range of bytes pBuffer[0..nBuffer).
+
+	The resulting string at pBuffer+iBuffer is guaranteed to be '\0'-
+	terminated.  Therefore, the maximum string size that can be handled
+	without truncation is (nBuffer - iBuffer - 1) bytes long.
+
+	We can consider boundary conditions without loss of generality by
+	considering only the case where iBuffer == 0.
+
+	If pBuffer == NULL, pString == NULL or nBuffer == 0, then the result
+	is always 0.
+
+	if nBuffer == 1, then the result is also always 0, but pBuffer[0]
+	will be set to '\0'.
+
+	If nBuffer > strlen(pString), then the entire string will be copied
+	to pBuffer, and a trailing '\0' is provided.
+
+	If nBuffer == strlen(pString), then all but the last byte is copied,
+	a trailing '\0' is provided, and the result is (nBuffer - 1), or
+	equivalently strlen(pString)-1.
+
+Returns:
+	Number of bytes of pString placed into the buffer.
+	The result + iBuffer will always be less than nBuffer (in order
+	to guarantee a trailing '\0'), unless nBuffer is zero.
+
+Notes:
+	If (iBuffer + the result) >= nBuffer, then you should assume
+	that one or more bytes of the string was truncated.  If nBuffer>0,
+	and iBuffer + the result == nBuffer-1, then the string may have
+	been truncated.
+
+        This implementation favors simplicity and correctness over raw
+        speed.
