I just got home and received African Chief's advice and thought I would try African Chief's fix out with Cygwin (I haven't got Linux at home yet). I first tried the version that worked on Linux, but got error messages with Cygwin. My files are pcallc.p, ccall.c, ccall.h and Makefile. The error messages are at the bottom.

I would be grateful for any ideas.

Thanks, Chris

pcallc.p: [ program pascalcallsC(input,output);

procedure world; external name 'world';

begin writeln("Hello world from Pascal"); world; end. ]

ccall.c: [ #include <stdio.h> #include "ccall.h"

void world (void) { printf("\nHello World from C\n"); } ]

ccall.h: [ extern void world(void); ]

Makefile: [ pcallc : pcallc.p ccall.o gpc -o pcallc pcallc.p ccall.o ccall.o : ccall.c gcc -c ccall.c clean: rm *.o pcallc ]
