Environment: VC6 SP5, Win98 SE

ApxString is a C++ string class that I wrote to make Windows programming more enjoyable without the use of MFC’s CString class. With the a few exceptions, I wrote this code entirely myself, and it has no dependency whatsoever on MFC. The project is a Win32 *.dll, with all source included. The class is ref counted, and makes use of many globals that I wrote myself. It even makes use of an encryption algorithm that I found on Codeguru! This code has no dependency on outside libraries except for 2 calls into the CRT, (strstr & _vsnprintf) the rest of the globals reside within this project.
