There's just one thing under "Building the argument stack".
There's the line

	stack[1].s_voidp = (void*)new char[14]("Hello, World!");

This will allocate memory that will never be freed. Either delete the memory 
afterwards or pass it the string directly with

	stack[1].s_voidp = (void*) "Hello, World!";

Otherwise, the article looks really good to me and ready to be put on 
techbase.
