[Lazarus] Converting pchar to pcchar

[Alex du Plessis]

Hi List,

Could anyone tell me what is the difference between a pchar and a 
pcchar?  |And how does one create the one from the other.

I have a library that was written in c++ and need to enter a string 
parameter into one of the (crucial) functions. When I used h2pas to 
convert the c header file it replaced the parameter type with a pcchar 
on that function.  As far as I can determine, the two types are not 
compatible - the type checking in the compiler throws an error and 
refuses to compile.

I could state the question differently as well.  How do I get a string 
into a pcchar variable?
