Hi, Sometimes, a generic pointer is very useful. For instance, the Windows API documents functions that have untyped pointers. These allow great flexibility and behave like the variant type in other languages but with efficient memory consumption. Delphi Pascal has both the variant and untyped pointer types. This clearly shows there are advantages to having the possibility of using untyped pointers. The Windows API CreateProcess function is such an example.
