	I am the original poster of the problem. I would like to thank  all who
	attempted to help me solve the problem. Regrettably, none of the
	suggestions help.
	The casting is taken care of by #include <windows.h>.
	There was no missing MakeProcInstance or exported name.
	I even tried to LockData() and made the data segment fixed as Bob
	Goodearl suggested.
	I am still waiting for more help!
	The problem is MessageBox(hDlg, "abc", "xyz", MB_OK) does not display
	text strings as expected (strings are garbled up).
	The call is made within a dialog box window procedure. There is no
	global or local allocation of memory. I did try to increase the stack
	size in .def file but this did not help. The machine I use is a PS2
	80. Windows and SDK are 3.0.
	By the way, a similar call made outside the dialog box window procedure
	works MessageBox(hWnd, "abc", "xyz", MB_OK) where hWnd is parent of
	hDlg.
