Well. I don't think I need any pointers class. There are some functions in Kernel32. which provide me necessary memory copy and pointer to string conversions.

And Thanks to all of you. I was able to get the all computer list in my network
with all the domains and their servers and all connectable resources.

I did it in VB 6 . But soon will be converting that to VFP . It is not difficult and no need of any additional clases.

Even the NETRESOURCE is having strings and numbers in it, it is not difficult to do. Any way I was able to get it with the help of Cetin and George.
Thanks for your suggestion Paul. The trick of pointers, converting to strings was useful.
