I need to do a dll call from LISP:
Exported interface in engine.dll is:
int StartEng(LPCTSTR checkpt[]);

In LISP:

(ctutil:define-dll "engine.dll"
    (:export nil)
  (startEng "StartEng" :int
                   (argv (array (* :char)))
                   )
  )
(setf checkpt '("brake" "gear" "door" "belt"))
(starteng checkpt)

and of course, it gives me segmentation fault.

I don't know what is the correct syntax and datatype. And seems that I
can't find much reference from the internet.

could anyone give me some hint?
