What is really happening in this snippet? I think it must be
implicitly taking the address of the constant string but is it also

Where does one get ComObj? On my box this errored out with:

So, try adding unit windows

Thank you, this one works for me with a command line compile. I

I'll have to do some digging to see why that line breaks the runtime
