+************** 6/26/96 ************

+aitString:copy() still has troubles.  Need to correct the
+aitConvertStringFloat64() and others.  How are they supposed to work?
+Should they be calling aitString::installString() instead of copy()? Yes,
+that is the answer.  In the convert functions, the temp variable
+used to hold a value (character value) is always a stack variable and
+needs to be copied.  Maybe the temp char variable should be copied over
+the existing string if it will fit. No.
