Maybe, but ...

Currently your dll isn't an ActiveX dll (sic COM) so the CVF COM Wizard
isn't terribly useful until you concoct a COM server. I see no reason to do
this, however, since you can achieve your goal via a classic dll, COM be
damned. For best responses, post your query to Intel Visual Fortran forum
at

http://softwareforums.intel.com/ids/board?board.id=5

rather than this c.l.f. burlesque, a hang out for the C++, Windows, and
Fortran challenged, superannuated old Fortran farts who drool in their
huggies and wouldn't know a COM from a cum.
