Amazing! Minutes to get a good solution! What a difference from the
Embarcadero support forum!  :)

The address symbol did the job!

Now I am getting to the real hurdle as follows:

DongleTest.lpr(20,1) Error: Illegal COFF Magic while reading
SPROMEPS.OBJ

This caused by the following line in a suppurt file from SafeNet:

...
IMPLEMENTATION
USES
   Windows;

{$L SPROMEPS.OBJ}  { LINK WITH THE SUPERPRO OBJECT FILE }

{ External functions }
...

So what I have is an OBJ file that contains the binary interface to
the 12 needed Sentinel driver functions.
This obj file has worked in Delphi versions from D4 up to XE5 without
problems. Can it be used with Lazarus/FPC possibly with some linker
switch???
