The routine PA_ConvertStrings converts the string string1 to the string string2.

Pass in string1 the string to convert, in kind1 its kind and in charset1 its chars set. Kinds and CharsSets are enums, defined in PublicTypes.h as:

typedef enum
{
   eSK_CString = 0,
   eSK_PString
} PA_StringKind;

typedef enum
{
   eCS_Macintosh = 0,
   eCS_Ansi,
   eCS_Unicode
} PA_CharSet;

Pass a buffer to the converted string in string2, and in the format and charset types you want string1 to be converted kind2 and charset2.

Pascal to C string conversion using the default characters settings.

   void MyPascalToCString(char *pStr, char *cStr)
   {
   #if VERSIONMAC
      PA_ConvertStrings(pStr, eSK_PString, eCS_Macintosh,
                        cStr, eSK_CString, eCS_Macintosh);
   #endif
   #if VERSIONWIN
      PA_ConvertStrings(pStr, eSK_PString, eCS_Ansi, 
                        cStr, eSK_CString, eCS_Ansi);
