FB strings and C strings

[SJ Zero]

Am I correct in assuming that FB uses pascal strings? Regardless of that, do header declarations for strings to C DLL functions work correctly? I ask because I need strings to work to continue my work in SDLNet, and can't confirm on my own whether they're ok...

If you declare the argument as BYVAL argname AS STRING, then FB will pass the string data to the called proc, not the descriptor.

FB uses a mix of C strings and QB strings, pascal strings - iir - can't be redimensioned.
