I am trying to write a routine to use a DLL using a LPSTR (Long Pointer to
string) variable parameter.

This has been a long frustrating process, as nothing seems to wrok.  Does
anyone out there know what I should be declaring in the Delphi program, and
passing to the DLL ???

Thanks in advance for any help.  Please respond by email to:

In D1, simply pass a PChar to the API function that needs an LPSTR. In
D2, you can simply cast a string as a PChar and pass that in (although
strictly speaking this is an LPCSTR, but it should work ...)

Thanks, cheers,
