You are assigning a string constant to a pchar, and then telling the DLL to overwrite it. In current release versions of FPC (where it doesn't crash), that will result in the data of that string constant getting overwritten. This means that if you assign 'test1234567890' somewhere else to a string, that string will actually get the value with which this string was overwritten the last time. Use getmem to allocate writeable memory.
Thanks Jonas! That got things working! _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
