- 1) is the toolset started (properly)?
- 2) are you passing the correct parms? (probably a pointer to a Pascal string,
- don't have my books with me.)
- 3) is a toolerror returned? (there should be a way to get this in Pascal).
- 4) are you using the USING directive?
- 5) a Str2Real function is not that hard to write yourself. But since a
- toolcall already exists it would be better if you figured out why it
- is not working properly. But, if in dire straits, just write your
- own routine.
-
- Believe me, the String2Real function works. I know I've used it in the
- past, and the bug probably would have cropped up by now.
