	There's a family of routines:

		pascal void CallPascal()
		pascal char CallPascalB()
		pascal int  CallPascalW()
		pascal long CallPascalL()

These routines take as their LAST argument a pointer to the Pascal function
to be called. (I believe they are documented, but I don't have my manuals in
front of my, so I'm not sure where...)
