options(*string) should take care of null-terminating it.  It won't
remove trailing blanks, though -- I don't know if that's an issue or
not, it wasn't apparent from the code you posted.

I could tell you how it's set in UNIX :)

In fairness, the APIs you're calling are QSHELL, not IFS.  You could use
the IFS APIs instead -- but then you'd have to write your own copy
command, so I have avoided suggesting that :)

I suppose I should take your code and actually try to compile it and run
it, that would be the best way to help you at this point... but I'm a
bit swamped right now.
