Description: This program shows a useful trick to get around an artificial limit that
MASM imposes on the length of string data. It loads a long string that
is delimited by a single zero and terminated by two zeros, reads each
entry and loads each entry into the list box. This allows very large
numbers of entries to stored in an EXE file without clumsy multiple
addressing for the entries in the data section.
Use the included QBASIC file to convert a list of text items into the
format needed below. There is no practical limit imposed on this
technique so you can make large lists in this manner.
