Access to Novell API library from MF Cobol?

HELP..!  I think that my brains have finally died - others may say
that it happened many years since..  However..

I'm updating some fairly ancient apps that are written in very old MF
Cobol to a /slightly/ newer version that I have kicking round the shop
(Object Cobol V4...  Don't laugh, it's just to see if it's possible,
I'll buy something new if and when it proves so to be).   The old
version uses .gnt files running under the RTS and calls the Novell
"API" with assembler routines that use the INT 21 DOS service call -
support of which is rapidly dissappearing from everything that is
Microsoft.  I want to use the Novell 6.0/6.5 SDK developers library -
which is intended for "C" use - to access the functions instead, but
still maintain the ease of use and flexibility of the RTS and .gnt
files rather than linking.

I have no problems writing code that accesses the Windows API
directly, but when I try to do the same with the Novell functions I
get a "called routine not found" type of error. This is inevitable as
I'm not "importing" the Novell libraries (calwin32, clxwin32, locwin32
etc..)..  Now to the crux of my question - how does one do this?
Anybody got any ideas??  Please...

Thanks in advance and you have my permission to call me an idiot. :-)
