// Create the 2 pointers

char* string1 = NULL;

// Make string1 point to a umteen-char array

// Note that I do not include the '\0' in the string

// This _should_ make room for the string _and_ the

// null terminator, correct?

string1 = new char[strlen("My Test String")];

// Make the first char in string1 be a null-terminator,

// so that we can concatenate starting at the beginning

// Can I do the following without writing blindly to some other

// variable or memory on the computer?

string1[strlen(string1)] = 0;

// Or, should I do this in order to put the null terminator

// at the last possible space in the array?

// string1[strlen(string1)+1] = 0
