   The Chunk Class  defines a way to automatically handle dynamic strings and other data
   types. You create a chunk with an initial size and it will then automatically grow to
   accomodate added data to the chunk. It is a general utility module. It is garanteed
   that the array is '\0' terminated at all times (and hence is a valid C type string).
   The method HTChunkTerminate can be used to explicitly add a terminating '\0'and then to
   include this character in the chunk size. If left out, the terminating character is
   _not_ considered part of the chunk.
   
   _Note_: The names without a "_" (made as a #define's) are only provided for backwards
   compatibility and should not be used.
   
   This module is implemented by HTChunk.c, and it is a part of the W3C Reference Library.

ZERO TERMINATE A CHUNK
