The following code was working a while ago, can someone have a look at it
and kindly inform me where did I go wrong?  GetSelectedDirecotry returns a
valid AnsiString containing a Valid Directory path.

Thanks in advance

  AnsiString asName = GetSelectedDirectory();
  TSHFileOpStruct PtrSHFileOpStruct;

  int iNameLength = asName.Length() + 2;

  char *cName = new char [iNameLength];

  // zero fill array (we need a char string with "two" null terminators
  memset(cName, 0, iNameLength);
  strcpy(cName, asName.c_str());

  PtrSHFileOpStruct.hwnd = Application->Handle;
  PtrSHFileOpStruct.wFunc = FO_DELETE;
  PtrSHFileOpStruct.pFrom = cName;
  PtrSHFileOpStruct.fFlags = FOF_SILENT | FOF_ALLOWUNDO;

  SHFileOperation(&PtrSHFileOpStruct); // *** I have started getting an
access violation here

  delete [] cName;
