From APDA, you want the GS/OS Reference and the Volume 3 of the Toolbox
Reference (you can use 5.0 stuff with ORCA/C even if they haven't released
updated interface files yet--it's straightforward to declare your own
structures and toolbox functions, using the information in TB Ref 3, modeling
your declarations after the ones in the existing .h files).
