Ouch!

Something is not right here, any thoughts?

I have a .decls file entry...

api_SystemParametersInfo% (uAction%, uParam%, lpvParam*, fuWinIni%) : "SystemParametersInfoA"

I call it like this...

api_SystemParametersInfo(20, 0, gen_screenshot_filename$, 1)

But I get illegal type conversion when compiling.

The weird thing is this used to work fine prior to my hard disk crash and subsequent rebuilt. The source hasn't changed, the decls hasn't changed.

ANY THOUGHTS GURUS?

Aside from "Evil Faries" my only other thought is this

 lpvParam*,

should this not be a $ as well? I ask because I have never seen * as a variable idnetifier... If I am wrong or ignorant I apologize...
