Maurice,

thanks for the prompt response.

I was just showing an example of the our source files.  This whole software is composed on a couple hundred files (about 95% in Pascal, some C, and a couple in assembly).  The whole thing is then linked.  So there is only one file with the program header.  All other source files just contain procedures in Pascal or C functions.

In this particular instance, I am trying to make a program where a C program calls the Pascal routine.

Regards,

Jing

What a "program" which contains only the declaration of
a procedure is intended to do ?
It cannot lead to anything executable ?
