Sorry - I wasn't clear (and I program on a PC at home - maybe there's a
relationship ;^> ).

The cdecl I was referring to is a program which analyzes C declarations and
spits out amazingly good english descriptions of what the declaration
refers to.

cdecl in the Microsoft languages is a keyword which specifies that C style
parameters and calling conventions will be used. This keyword (cdecl) is 
of use when  Mixed-Language programs will be used (anyone remember INTER
OPTION ASM or INTER OPTION COBOL or INTER OPTION FORTRAN :^( ). 

Again, sorry if I confused anyone on a PC out there. Get cdecl (the
program) from your local, friendly archive site. You'll be glad you did.
