Ah, of course. I should have said module procedures. Or even module procedures without bind(C)? That being said, I've seen examples where people have figured out the symbol mangling and are calling module procedures directly from C, so will breaking such code (even if not officially supported) be an issue? -- Janne Blomqvist
