I think people have tried and failed to link C/C++ to Turbo Pascal directly.
I think it might be possible using inline assembly, but I'm not sure.  I
certainly think that it is best to use the extern "C" prefix on your C++
global variables and function names.  This would maintain the C version of
the name and that name will follow and underscore (i.e. _myfunc for myfunc).

Good luck.
