          In TPU, there is a routine called CALL_USER, which allows
          you to run an external (non-TPU) subroutine that is
          user-written (well, actually, programmer-written) in a
          regular VAX programming language, such as FORTRAN, C, or
          BASIC.  The name of the external routine is TPU$CALLUSER.

          The TPU_CALLUSER package is a general-purpose implementation
          of the TPU$CALLUSER routine.  Instead of having one
          designated function, or a predeterminied set of functions,
          the TPU_CALLUSER package allows the TPU user to call
          subroutines in system libraries (or any other shareable
          image libraries) on the fly.
