The Microsoft article you referred to is based on the 16-but Microsoft
Fortran 5.1. Visual Fortran doesn't really use the DEF files - attributes
are embedded directly in the code. You should find a good section describing
this in the DVF user guide. I don't have DVF on this PC, but if you search
the help for DLL and, I think, EXPORT, you should find it - it will be
declaring attributes. You should also find that if you go to the DVF web
site there are the articles that you need, covering also the additional
complexity of passing strings/characters.

Nonsense. If only D/C/I VF user's made use of .def's as do the VC++ and
BC++ crowd, they'd be far less challenged by their Window's Fortran
ineptitude. It's quite possible to use MS/D/C/IVF without ever having to
use a !MS et al metacommand.

Perfectly possible. But not the direction pointed to by the usual help
articles. When I converted my MSF 5.1 to DVF 5.0 my DEF file didn't
translate, and I could solve the problem within 10 minutes using the
attributes. Seemed a good-enough solution.
