 PEEK...(<C segment>, <C|N offset>)
 Reads data stored at specified location in memory.
 Returns <exp> value of data type at requested location.

 <segment> is the segment address of a memory location
    expressed as a 4-byte hexadecimal string.
 <offset> is the offset address of a memory location
    expressed as either 4-byte hexadecimal string or integer.

 Useful for simulating data types and structures not supported by Clipper.

 The following PEEK...() functions are available:

 Function    Returns
 --------    --------------------------------
 PEEKBYTE()  1-byte hex string
 PEEKCHAR()  1-byte ASCII character
 PEEKINT()   2-byte integer
 PEEKLONG()  4-byte integer
 PEEKDBL()   8-byte floating-point number
 PEEKSTR()   null-terminated character string

 See the sample program Country.prg, and example under ALLOCATE().

 Hazard
    Using PEEKSTR() where there is no null terminator to end the
    string will have unpredictable results.
