Just to start, with binary data how about instead of passing arguments in
a character array with the number of arguments it just passes a structure
which would be defined as follows.
struct externalparameter
{
unsigned char *string;
externalparameter *next;
int length;
};
Next if not null would point to the next argument.
String would contain a null terminated or non null terminated string.
Length would specify the size of the string.
Data could be returned using the same structure.
