I need to perform a VCL ObjectTextToBinary in DotNet.
Initially I thought I'd just create a Win32 DLL and export a function that
takes a char* and returns a char*.
However, as we all know, streamed components are full of null characters.
Then I thought maybe I could create an ActiveX DLL and return an
ADODB.Stream filled with the binary data.

Before I go to this trouble (I'm very inexperienced with writing DLLs), I
just thought I would confirm that this is the best solution.


Cheers,
Nathan
