Yes, and the other way is also possible. This is done the other way
round when a pascal program calls RegisterClass from the Windows API.
It is sending a structure has a pointer to a function.

The only possible problem I see is if the structure contains numbers
that are smaller then a Integer (smallint, byte, word, etc) ... then
you may have some problems with the alignment of the data.

record on both and use it as a parameter it will work.
