Because I made an extra effort to check, as part of following up this 
conversation.  Normally I don't bother since there's no point, but since 
you raised the issue I took the time to double-check something that was 
already obvious.  This is not something I regularly do, or want to do.

I don't have any notes to post.  I don't write notes for this sort of thing.

Honestly, I don't see why this is such a big deal.  Anyone who's curious 
about uses of strcat in the MS-Windows code can easily search the code 
for instances of the string "strcat".  No special advice or notes are 
needed.  And if nobody bothers to do the search, that's fine too.
