Ok... cool. I wasn't sure if you needed that either. The documentation was a
bit cloudy and I don't know pascal all that well - so I wasn't sure if the
return was a pointer-to-pointer (which is what I assumed and why I had the
readintptr) or just a pointer. I'm glad you figured it out though :)

The only reward we normally look for is a final post explaining the
exact solution you found. The above doesn't really explain it. :-)

But for those who help it is very useful.
