SPECIFICATION

String str;
FORTRAN subroutine charst(str, length)
character*(*) str
integer*4 length
DESCRIPTION
charstr draws a string of text (str) using a raster font.
The current character position is the position of the first
character in the string. After each character is drawn, the
character's spacing parameter updates the current character
position. The text string is drawn in the current raster
font and color, using the current writemask. The system
ignores characters that are not defined in the current
raster font.
In FORTRAN, str is the name of the text string and length is
the number of characters in that string.
