NAME
       XmStringNCopy -- A compound string function that creates a copy of a compound string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmString XmStringNCopy(
       XmString s1,
       int num_bytes);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases.  XmStringNCopy creates a copy of s1 that contains a speci-
       fied number of bytes, including tags, directional indicators, and separators. It then returns the resulting compound string.  The  original
       strings	are  preserved.   The function allocates space for the resulting compound string.  The application is responsible for managing the
       allocated space.  The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmStringFree.

       s1	 Specifies the compound string.

       num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes of s1 to copy.  If this value is less than the length of s1, as many bytes as possible, but  possi-
		 bly fewer than this value, will be appended to s1 such that the resulting string is still a valid compound string.

RETURN
       Returns a new compound string.
