Re: A mission - update

The detailed problem has been solved. There is a bigger picture 
description of a task that needs doing in the thread "Introduction and a 
project".

The original mission  was going to be to find the declaration for the 
widely used C++ type "String". It appears to get mapped, probably 
through some configure magic, to the class UniString in 
main/tools/inc/tools/string.hxx.

The problem was that "String" is such a widely appearing string that it 
was hard to narrow down searches. It was found by getting some field 
names from Visual Studio and searching for them instead.
