The author also uses CopyMemory.

Are you saying that the author of the book is incorrect? Are you saying that
strings are never converted to ANSI when an ANSI function in a DLL is
called?

Are you saying that the declaration of CopyMemory used by the author is
wrong? Note that the author provides a sample use of CopyMemory that causes
the string to be converted to ANSI. You seem to be saying that the reason
the string is converted to ANSI is that the declaration of CopyMemory that
is used is wrong.
