cnfImpbn - Import no more than max characters from a FORTRAN string into a C string, retaining trailing blanks

Description:
Import a FORTRAN string into a C string, up to a maximum of `max' characters, retaining trailing blanks. The null character is appended to the C string after all of the blanks in the input string.

Invocation:
cnfImpbn( source_f, source_len, max, dest_c )

Arguments:

const char *source_f (Given)
A pointer to the input FORTRAN string
int source_len (Given)
The length of the input FORTRAN string
int max (Given)
The maximum number of characters to be copied from the input FORTRAN string to the output C string
char *dest_c (Returned via pointer)
A pointer to the output C string

Notes:
No check is made that there is sufficient space allocated to the C string to hold the FORTRAN string. It is the responsibility of the programmer to check this.
