No, sorry. This is not a C language issue, like Louis Lenders flamed
you, but a Win32 API issue. Still he is right in this case, because
lstrcpyn is *not* like strncpy. lstrcpyn does, according to MSDN,
perfectly the right thing here. There is even an example on the MSDN
page, stating that
  lstrcpyn(dest,"abcdefghi",4)
puts "abc" into dest.
