Hi,

Could someone tell me a pascal calling convention correlated to _stdcall 
in c++?

I have a DLL written on C++ (BCB):

//----------------
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) _stdcall bool VPNStart(char* AKeyTable)
//----------------

How do i declare a 'procedure' variable in delphi to call the func?

//----------------
Var
   vpnstart : function(PChar AKeyTable) : bool;  ?
//----------------

How do i wrap _stdcall?
Also i am not sure if/for what purpose i need "C" in c++ func - is it 
the same as _cdecl?

Thank you,
Andrey
