+<h1>strcpy function</h1>
+</center>
+<hr>
+<p>
+<b>strcpy</b> copies a string. This function will copy the bytes
+stored at the location pointed to by 's2' to the location pointed to by 's1'.
+
+<pre>
+
+     	s1		s2
+	|		|
+	V		V
+        - - - -		- - - --	
+       | | | | |       |a|b|c|\0|
+        - - - -		- - - --	
+	^ ^		| |

+Library:   string.h
+
+Prototype: char strcpy(char *s1, const char *s2);
+
+Syntax:	  
+	   char string2[20]="red dwarf";
+	   char string1[20]="";
+           strcpy(string1, string2);
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2>Notes</h2>
+
+Dont forget that strings are terminated with a 
+'<a href="../SYNTAX/null.html">\0</a>' so allow space for it...
+<p>
+There is another way to code the example above. Consider this piece of 
+code.
+<pre>
+	main()
+	{
+	  char *string2="red dwarf";
+	  char *string1;
+
+	  string1=string2;
+	}
+</pre>
+
+'string2' is now a character pointer (only one byte) that points to a 
+storage location containing "red dwarf" (a 
+<a href="../CONCEPT/constants.html#str">string constant</a>).  So 
+<b>string1=string2;</b> copies the address of "red dwarf" into 
+'string1'. This version of the code will execute quicker than strcpy 
+because less data is being moved around the system.
