Thanks, it does help. Unfortunately they do not solve the problem af
arrays of chars like

XMLSEC_EXPORT_VAR const xmlChar xmlSecNs[];

I'm trying to get in touch with the original author of the Pascal API
conversion of XMLLib.

Regards,
Erik

No clue about accessing anything from Delphi, but there is a Pascal
binding for libxml at http://idom2-pas.sourceforge.net/
<ttp://idom2-pas.sourceforge.net/">

If you haven't allready, take a look at it. Libxml exports variables,
perhaps its Pascal-binding will give a clue about how to do it.
