Check if this works:

  -------------------------
  extern "C" {
    void __stdcall test1(void);
    void __stdcall test2();
    }
  -------------------------

However header files have a way of being used in both C and C++ programs so
the following might be a better way:

  -------------------------
  #ifdef __cplusplus
  extern "C" {
  #endif

    void __stdcall test1(void);
    void __stdcall test2();

  #ifdef __cplusplus
    }
  #endif
  -------------------------

Mr Salzman is correct.  This is the newsgroup for the old Borland C++
compiler.  Please post C++ Builder questions in C++ Builder groups, groups
with the word 'cppbuilder' in their name.
