A lot depends on what compilers and target machine you are using.  Borland
pascal TPU are not compatible with Borland C objects.  You will need to 
have two compilers from the same vendor such as the Microsoft C and Pascal
compiler or possible the Jensen (JPI) family of compilers.

Be very careful when using library calls as this can pull in lots of stuff.
The problem with mixing code is that you might pull in identical functions
from two different libraries and create an unnecessarily large program.
