Hi Martina,

I saw that all samples are like that, but when I tried the compiler complains

Error (active) E0144 a value of type "const char *" cannot be used to initialize an entity of type "char *"

and

Error C2440 'initializing': cannot convert from 'const char [3]' to 'char *' FLLTest


That is why I made the conversion

[Update]
Forgot to mention that the same problem (need to convert "" to (char *) or (char FAR *)) happens if I enclose the whole thing in a extern "C" block.
[/Update]

[Update 2]
Following this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/compiler-errors-1/compiler-error-c2440?view=vs-2019
I added the option /Zc:strictStrings to no avail :(
[/Update 2]

[Update 3]
I did not see there was a minus symbol after /Zc:strictStrings, so I added it and now I can compile as you suggested (no need to convert the string) but still the parameter comes as NULL arghh...
[/Update 3]
