PWideChar and String

[R. L. Alan Jordan]

How do I allocate a variable of type PWideChar to a variable of type string?

PwdCh : PWideChar
Str : String;
.

wStr: Widestring;

wStr := str;
PwdCh := PWideChar(wStr);

And the other way around (which is, if I read it correctly, the question

wStr := PwdCh;
Str := wStr;

I forgot to say I am still using Delphi 2. Which version was this
implemented in? This will not compile.

In D2, you'll probably have to use Windows API conversion routines.

Look at WideCharToMultiByte() in the Win32 SDK help that comes with
Delphi.
