In quite a few cases "var" parameters are used instead of pointers, that's  
the
other major difference I found when porting from delphi. Maybe those were  
in the
socket functions. I remember stuff like getsockopt in winsock that used  
pointers
where in fp it used getsocketoptions and var parameters.
