For reasons too complicated to go into here, i've been advised by a 3rd party, that to use their DLL, I need to allocate string memory using CoTaskMemAlloc before passing the buffer to them. They know nothing about FTN95, I know nothing about their DLL.

What combniation of STDCALL or whatever do I need to implement a call to the following?

You would normally use INTEGER*4 for the returned pointer but it probably won't do any harm to use INTEGER*8.
