    Description

    StringToPPChar splits the string S in words, replacing any whitespace with zero characters. It returns a pointer to an array of pchars that point to the first letters of the words in S. This array is terminated by a Nil pointer.

    The function does not add a zero character to the end of the string unless it ends on whitespace.

    The function reserves memory on the heap to store the array of PChar; The caller is responsible for freeing this memory.

    This function is only available on certain platforms.
