   I'm thinking about combining programs built with Fujitsu COBOL 3.0
and others built with Delphi and CALL in either the one or the other
direction. Since its Delphi, the platform will be Win32.

   Fujitsu COBOL offers an extension to Standard COBOL with a phrase

   "WITH { C | PASCAL | STDCALL } LINKAGE"

   on the PROCEDURE DIVISION header, CALL statement, and -- another
extension -- ENTRY statement.

   Would I have to specify PASCAL or STDCALL LINKAGE for links with
Delphi compiled programs?

   Also, how about statically linking OBJ-modules vs. CALLing DLLs?

   I have searched the Google Netnews archive for these keywords,
found that, well, Fujitsu COBOL and Delphi can go together, but no
clear hint regarding my question.
