I'm assuming that the pchars are allocated space using conventional
strings within the DLL... If they're allocated with Allocmem (?) or fixed
global arrays then the ShareMem won't be the problem.... Personally
I'd use sharemem and design using the String-type and dynamic arrays
as they tidy some of the code up a bit as they avoid pointer notation.
