1. After you do MemPtrFree(sample), you can't expect
sample to contain anything useful. I don't understand
what you are thinking here.
2. It's ok to modify s to point to different locations
in your packed string, but instead of assigning the
address of one string to another pointer, usually you
should copy a string like this:
StrCopy(sample->name, s);
Here's how to unpack your packed data (this is
untested code, but it is very likely to be correct):
typedef struct
{
UInt16 ID;
Char * name;
Char * address;
} Details;
typedef struct
{
UInt16 ID;
Char name[1];
} PackDetails;
Char * s;
PackDetails * P;
Details details;
// after setting up P:
details.ID = P->ID;
s = P->name;
StrCopy(details.name, s);
s += (StrLen(details.name)+1);
StrCopy(details.address, s);
