memcpy and memmove function

[frasca]

The description says:

sub procedure memcpy(dim p1, p2 as ^byte, dim nn as word)

The function copies nn words from the memory area starting at the address p2 to the memory area starting at p1

But the example says:

txt = "mikroElektronika"
txt_sub = "mikr"

memcpy(@txt+4, @txt_sub, 4) ' string 'txt' will be populated with the first 4 characters of the 'txt_sub' string, beginning from the 4th character

Question: nn are words or bytes?
i hope bytes

Hi,

nn represents number of characters(bytes), but the parameter is of word type, so the error in documentation maybe is due to this.
