Is there a clever way to call a Declare that expects one of its

void GetMediaHandlerDescription (

OSType *mediaType,
Str255 creatorName,
OSType *creatorManufacturer );
Sure - just declare the parameter ByRef as OSType, like this:
Declare Sub GetMediaHandlerDescription Lib "something appropriate" _
theMedia As Integer, _
ByRef mediaType As OSType, _
creatorName As PString, _
ByRef creatorManufacturer As OSType )
Now call it like this:
Dim mediaType As OSType
Dim creatorManufacturer As OSType
GetMediaHandlerDescription foo, mediaType, "creator",
creatorManufacturer
Now use your mediaType and creatorManufacturer variables as strings.
