I'm porting some old code that uses 'c2pstrcpy', and XCode
informs me that the function is deprecated. Apple's website
confirms this, and states that I should use CopyCStringToPascal

However, the new 10.4 universal headers indicate that
CopyCStringToPascal is also deprecated, but I can't find a newer
equivalent to convert it to. (It would be great if the compiler
warning could tell me this.) Anybody know?
I think the theory there is that Pascal strings themselves are not
encouraged any more. You should switch from APIs that use Pascal
strings to more modern APIs that are Unicode-friendly.
In that case, can you recommend an alternative to DebugStr (which
is not marked as deprecated), which takes a Pascal string and
outputs it to the console?
CFShow, I imagine.
Anyway, this is rather off-topic for xcode-users. I'd suggest asking
these questions on carbon-dev instead, where you're far more likely
to have someone involved with those APIs answer questions about them.
