While SizeOf(ShortInt) = SizeOf(Char) is true ("Char" is the base of "PChar"), ShortInt=Char is not.IIRC originally when I added ctypes, name:pcchar was meant to be the translation from "const char* name".
AFAIR Windows.h defined PCCHAR this way, and PTCHAR as platform specific, i.e. PCHAR on Win16 and PWCHAR on Win32. Even combinations of T and C modifiers had been defined, e.g. PTCCHAR.
The same names in lowercase may have different meanings in C (ctypes.h), but since Pascal identifiers are case insensitive... :-(
