As for me, when I had to call a DLL function with LPSTR or similar (long
pointer to string, that is, char array) I always used to GlobalAlloc a
small amount of memory, then GlobalLock it (no longer needed in Win95),
then copying the bytes belonging to the string in the memory area using
a kind of "POKE". It always worked, though a little complicated.
I don't know if String could work, but that maybe the cause.
All the rest in your code seems OK.
Let me know!
