doesn't require the intermediate copy, and allows extraction of an
arbitrary field as I
show earlier.

Hi Joe:

Ah yes, I see that this works in VS2002 and later. In VC6, the conversion
constructor only exists for the one-parameter constructor, which requires
a NUL-terminated string.

However, I personally dislike these CString conversion constructors, and I
would never write code that depended on them. In fact I have modified my
VC6 CString headers to eliminate them (and I would do it in the later
templated versions if I could figure out how).
