what is the replacement for $z ?

function x(v$z)
endfunction


how can i write $z as words. Is this "string ptr" or something? i write a tool for bbmax and i need to know this...

$z is a C style string. You are really only ment to use it with externs.

yes - and is here no synonym for this?

If I'm not mistaken, it's Byte Ptr. But then you can't do normal string passing to it with automatic conversion.
