These are Pascal interfaces to C packages. In general there is no Pascal documentation available. However, since they are straight translations the C documentation should apply almost literally to the Pascal versions.

Is there a note/memo about types mapping?

There should be some issues (I remember some return values in Delphi were boolean in straight translations, while there were three different meaningful return values in C).

You can check the quake3 pascal conversion page. There are a huge list of c to pascal conversion types, structures, etc.... Don't remember the url, is link to there.

But there *is* a tutorial for using GTK+ and Pascal written by Florian Klämpfl and Michael van Canneyt from September 2000.

It's only that I don't know where it's located. ;)

HTH,
