Can anybody help me to translate the following lines to pascal(delphi)?

Let me explain what I'm looking for:

   int i = 1; {In this line, an integer variable which is called "i" is
declared and it is initialised with 1}

   BYTE data[2000]={0}; {your comments here...}
   BITMAPINFOHEADER *bh=(BITMAPINFOHEADER*)data; {your comments here...}
   RGBQUAD *pal=(RGBQUAD*)(data+sizeof(*bh)); {your comments here...}

I am very confused with the meaning that has the * in C/C++
I don't understand why it precedes the variable/type in some cases and in
other cases it is later
Neither I understand this kind of lines:

  (BITMAPINFO*)bh {a type cast?}
  &specbuf {the data referenced by a Pointer variable?}

TIA.
