provided with C Versions 5.00 and 5.10, FORTRAN Versions 4.0x and
4.10, MASM Versions 5.00 and 5.10, and Pascal Version 4.00, the
example program given in section 5.4.2 "Calling C from Pascal --
Function Call" is incorrect. If the Pascal source code in the manual
is compiled, the following errors will occur on the function
declaration line:
function Fact (n : integer) [C]; extern;
^ ^ ^
Warning 173 Insert: ____________________| | |
(the compiler is expecting a colon) | |

315 Type unknown or invalid assumed integer __| |
Begin Skip |

187 End Skip _________________________________________|
The function declaration in the Pascal program is missing its return
value. If the line is corrected to look as follows the program works
properly:
function Fact (n : integer) : integer [C]; extern;
