This could well be in error.

Sorry, it's been too long ago, I have no idea. There's a good chance it's
simply an error. Back then I did many translations by hand, I didn't switch
to using tools later..

Hmmm, it may be that AssocCreate is translated incorrectly:
 
LWSTDAPI AssocCreate(CLSID clsid, REFIID riid, LPVOID *ppv);

function AssocCreate(clsid: TCLSID; riid: TREFIID; ppv: Pointer): HRESULT;
stdcall;

The trouble is that REFIID is a pointer to a GUID, TREFIID is (probably)
merely a GUID. Similarly, LPVOID* is a pointer to a pointer, not just a
pointer. A more accurate translation would be:

function AssocCreate(
  clsid: TCLSID; 
  const riid: TGUID; 
  out ppv: Pointer): HRESULT; stdcall;

Does this make a difference?

Looks like I made quite a bit of mistakes back then :-(

PS It seems the JEDI website is down. It returns a 500 status for me..
