Oh, sorry about that, I honestly had no intention to. I really 
appreciate all the help.

In most cases, the function call like yours also has an argument for the maximum number of bytes the function will return, so you can usually use that for the minimum size.  Then you can use the Sting@ function to pull the string value out of the allocated memory.  Then you use the Free function to release the allocated memory.

Thanks for the idea, I'll give it a try! Like I said, that's a minor 
issue for me, it's almost always possible to just get an integer value 
of a message (i.e. a error number, not an ectual error description) and 
just parse it from a text base I already have. But huge thanks for the tip.
