Thanks, thought I'd seen something like that.

So far have managed to copy a security descriptor from one file to
another but creating a new one fails somewhere.

arbitrary 'C' parameters from API functions is to use "struct" on
calldll buffer objects.

Is this the best way ?

e.g. some calls simply point to an address which contains a long value
for the length of a buffer. Is there a quicker/easeier way to set the
value in memory ? (Some calls pass the length directly, ho hum.)
