  Well, as someone who *has* done this in the past, I have *never*
  found a .OBJ file that I did not compile myself that would link
  with Turbo Pascal (unless it was expressly written to do so).

  Borland put such stringent requirements on linking external 
  modules that for all intents and purposes it can't be done unless
  you are willing to write the code yourself.
