   i saw "CallPascalW" and "pascal ... (e.g. Boolean myGetNextEvent)"
used in some C program as illustrated in the following example:

-----------
    ...
    oldGetNextEvent = NGetTrapAddr( 0xa02f );
    ...
pascal Boolean myGetNextEvent (event, mask) ...;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    /* CallPascalW calls indirectly a pascal function from C.  */
    retCode = CallPascalW (event, mask, oldGetNextEvent);
              ^^^^^^^^^^^               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    ...
-----------

1.  i would like to know which C compiler(s) have such features.
are they available in any specific C compiler only OR are they 
available in most C compilers in general?

2.  i wonder what the difference is between the oridnary function
calls and "CallPascalW" and why they are necessary.

  please e-mail to me.  thanks in advance.
