You are facing a byte ordering problem. s1.v1 has been initialized by PalmOS 68K so the address is stored in big endian. PceNativeCall does not know anything about the pointer you pass to the native code and can't adjust pointers in it.
On the Windows native side, you need to byte swap the pointer to put it in the windows native format before using it. You should be able to find 100 of functions to do that, including ntohl or steal one from Palm headers... WARNING: THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. You will also face to alignment/padding issues. The 68K compiler will not layout structures the same way than Windows compiler. The safest way is to manually put things in a memory area and pass a pointer to it to Windows, read manually knowing how you stored things. Do not rely on the compiler since they are different.

Now we can pass a structure of parameters to the native code as userdata. I want to pass a number of buffers to the code. So I declare struct s1 { long *v1; long *v2; }; in my palm program. Also I have to access this structure in my dll, so i use this declaration. But if i try to access *v1 in dll then simulator crashes. If i declare it struct s1 { long v1[5]; long v2[1]; }; Then I can acess v1[0], v1[1] etc. Does that mean I have to declare all my buffers as arrays? But I have huge buffers so can be declared on stack. Can anyone help?
