The iRMX[x]86 interface library for C is obsolete with the version of the
Mark Williams C compiler I have, (version 3.0, I think).  With this version
you merely declare:

extern alien rq$create$task();

extern alien my$PLM$routine();

You do this for all of the iRMX library routines you plan to use, and
also for any PLM routines of your own.  The "stdio.h" file contains
the required declarations for the UDI routines.  Caveat: If you
interface to the libraries and PLM directly, you no longer get
automatic conversion between C and UDI format strings.
