/*  $DOC$
 *  $FUNCNAME$
 *      CHARMIX()
 *  $CATEGORY$
 *      CT3 string functions
 *  $ONELINER$
 *      Mix two strings
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *      CHARMIX (<cString1>[, <cString2>]) --> cMixedString
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *      <cString1>     String that will be mixed with the characters from <cString2>
 *      [<cString2>]   String whose characters will be mixed with the one from
 *                     <cString1>.
 *                     Default: " " (string with one space char)
 *  $RETURNS$
 *      <cMixedString> Mixed string
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      The CHARMIX() function mixes the strings <cString1> and <cString2>. To
 *      do this it takes one character after the other alternatively from
 *      <cString1> and <cString2> and puts them in the output string.
 *      This procedure is stopped when the end of <cString1> is reached. If
 *      <cString2> is shorter than <cString1>, the function will start at
 *      the begin of <cString2> again. If on the other hand <cString2> is
 *      longer than <cString1>, the surplus characters will be omitted.
 *  $EXAMPLES$
 *      ? CHARMIX("ABC", "123")    // "A1B2C3"
 *      ? CHARMIX("ABCDE", "12")   // "A1B2C1D2E1"
 *      ? CHARMIX("AB", "12345")   // "A1B2"
 *      ? CHARMIX("HELLO", " ")    //  "H E L L O "
 *      ? CHARMIX("HELLO", "")     //  "HELLO"
 *  $TESTS$
 *      CHARMIX("ABC", "123")  == "A1B2C3"
 *      CHARMIX("ABCDE", "12") == "A1B2C1D2E1"
 *      CHARMIX("AB", "12345") == "A1B2"
 *      CHARMIX("HELLO", " ")  == "H E L L O "
 *      CHARMIX("HELLO", "")   == "HELLO"
 *  $STATUS$
 *      Ready
 *  $COMPLIANCE$
 *      CHARMIX() is compatible with CT3's CHARMIX().
 *      NOTE: CA-Tools version of CHARMIX() will hang
 *            if the second parameter is an empty string, this version will not.
 *  $PLATFORMS$
 *      All
 *  $FILES$
 *      Source is charmix.c, library is ct3.
 *  $SEEALSO$
 *      CHAREVEN()   CHARODD()
 *  $END$
