Possible String Buffer Overrun on VBASTMT calls

    If you use VBASTMT to open files in a line like this ...

    (command "vbastmt" (strcat "AutoCAD.Documents.Open " (chr 34)
    filnam (chr 34)))

    .... it can fail when the path\filename string is over 100 characters. A
    workaround is to put the path\filename in a user variable and pick it
    back up like ...

    (setvar "USERS5" filnam)
    (command "vbastmt" (strcat "AutoCAD.Documents.Open
    ThisDrawing.GetVariable(" (chr 34) "USERS5" (chr 34) ")"))

    Just thought some might like to know.

    Terry,

    Is this version specific?

    I don't know, but since I have to work on 2000 or higher, it had to be
    done for the lowest platform.
