=>For example, there is an error in the "SaveFieldValue(FieldPtr field, UInt16 Offset)" function in the lines
DmWrite(RecordPtr, &Offset, FieldText, StrLen(FieldText) + 1);
and
Offset += StrLen(FieldText) + 1;
saying for each one "function call 'StrLen ({lval} struct FieldType *)' does not match 'StrLen (const char *)' "
Note: I call this function like "SaveFieldValue(NameFieldPtr, Offset);". Is it correct, or should I put a & before OffSet? =>SaveFieldValue(NameFieldPtr, &Offset);
=>Another error exists in the function "SetFieldValue( FieldPtr field, UInt16 fieldLen, UInt16 Offset)" in the lines
StrCopy( FieldText, &RecordPtr[Offset]); saying "function call 'StrCopy({lval} struct FieldType *, DBRecord *)' does not match 'StrCopy(char*, const char*)' ", so I don't know if i'm calling the offset attribut correctly, or if i'm using RecordPtr correctly;
and in the line
Offset += StrLen(RecordPtr[Offset]) + 1; saying "function call 'StrLen({lval} DBRecord)' does not match 'StrLen(const char *)' "
=>Another error in the function "UInt16 GetFieldLength(FieldPtr field)", in the line
result = StrLen(FieldText) + 1; saying
"function call 'StrLen({lval} struct FieldType *)' does not match 'StrLen(const char *)' "
Well... Those are the bugs that compiler spoted... If you quickly read the Pascal functions, you can see that the change to C is almost trivial, with the exception of some pointers, and I think that the problems are from that change....If someone could help... I would be very glad!

Wel...
Try be more specific... What exacly is your problem ? Where the compiler gives you an error message? Did the compiler give you a Warning message about pointers? What i would suggest you is to take some C tutorials and to know how to use the Debugger, view the memory and know the difference between pointers and variables (the memory viewer from pods helps on this). Know what you do when you pass & and * in front of a variable.
By the name of the variables, i would tell that you speak portuguese... So here is a link for a good C tutorial(in portuguese): http://www.mtm.ufsc.br/~azeredo/cursoC/c.html
