There's a typo in the documentation for DwtGetNextSegment. Here is the proper
function description:

int DwtGetNextSegment (context, text_return, charset_return,
                       direction_r_to_l_return, lang_return, rend_return)
DwtCompStringContext *context;
char **text_return; /* This is where the typo is -- the manual has only 1 * */
long *charset_return;
Boolean *direction_r_to_l_return;
long *lang_return;
long *rend_return;

I hope this helps.
