My problem is getting paper bin names from DeviceCapabilities with
DC_BINNAMES. How exactly should the output structure look??

I've tried chars, arrays of chars, pointer arrays of chars and this
structure (loosely mentioned in the help file) :

struct MyBinData {
    short BinList[cBinMax];
    char PaperNames[cBinMax][cchBinName];
};

But nothing seems to work.  Either i get only the first paperbin, and then
only garbage, or even weirder (with pointer arrays i think t'was): I get the
whole first binname, then the second name, minus the first character
(nvelope) and then less and less until I get empty strings.

Does anyone sit on information that could help me with this, or know of some
other method for aquiring bin names???
