                 pointer function lscut (ptr1, pos, ptr2)
                 pointer ptr1, ptr2
                 integer pos

                 Library:  vlslb


            _F_u_n_c_t_i_o_n

                 The string specified by 'ptr1' is divided following position
                 'pos'.   The first half of the string is returned in 'ptr1',
                 and the second half is returned in 'ptr2' and as  the  value
                 of the function.


            _I_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n

                 The string specified by 'ptr1' is positioned with 'lspos' to
                 position  'pos'.  A new string of length 1 is allocated, and
                 the character at position 'pos' is placed in the new string.
                 A pointer is placed in position 'pos'  to  the  new  string.
                 'Ptr2'  and  the  function are given the value of the string
                 position after position 'pos'.
