My first guess would be that you haven't converted the C string to a pascal
string. Use CtoPstr().  You can use sprintf() (which formats data and puts
into a string variable you supply) and call CtoPstr(). CtoPstr changes
the C string (terminated in 0x00) to a pascal string (bytecount first
then the string). Remember, all routines have PASCAL calling conventions.
