The Mathworks supplied Fortran mxCopyCharacterToPtr and mxCopyPtrToCharacter routines do not work. This submission contains two drop-in replacement routines that do work. They have the same argument signatures as the Mathworks routines. Simply include them with your Fortran source code and they will override the Mathworks library functions.

Also included are two test driver mex functions to demonstrate the use of the routines.

Confirmed that Compaq Visual Fortran does not support the %REF construct properly in the original files. So I am including versions that do not use %REF. These should work with Compaq Visual Fortran.
