Variable-Length String Storage
 
You have two options for storing variable-length string data and string
array data: near string storage in DGROUP and far string storage in the
far heap. You can specify which option you want to use by compiling with
or without the far string option (/Fs). The only data type affected by
the /Fs option is the variable-length string data type.
