It's >no problem as long as I stick with C, but from C++ it won't export. C++ mangles the names, whereas C doesn't. See page 31-32 of Borland's "Programmer's Guide (3.1)" (blue/yellow/white book). Declare your function prototype as follows: extern "C" ... myfunc(...); This tells C++ not to mangle any references to this function. -- John A.
