Hi, what is the correct way to translate this snippet into _D2_ ?
//const and cast()

void rc2_decrypt( const unsigned short xkey[64],

Here you go: void rc2_decrypt( const(ushort)[64] xkey, ubyte* plain, const(ubyte)* cipher ) { uint x76, x54, x32, x10, i; x76 = (cipher[7] << 8) + cipher[6]; // ..... } You'd better pass cipher and plain as arrays rather than pointers if their sizes are known: void rc2_decrypt( const(ushort)[64] xkey, const(ubyte)[] plain, const(ubyte)[] cipher ) { uint x76, x54, x32, x10, i; x76 = (cipher[7] << 8) + cipher[6]; // ..... }

Thanks a lot Denis, I am afraid I am not able to use arrays 'cause I've to use the function as follows : export extern(Windows) void rc2_decrypt() in order to use it from my 4GL development-system. beside, any reason for const(ubyte)[] plain instead of ubyte[] plain ? Bjoern
