A long time ago I wrote a FORTRAN (Visual, I think) dll.
The default calling convention was neither StdCall or ccall,
so the dll could not be read by BlackBox at all.
Deep within the FORTRAN documentation I found that it could
be altered (I forget to which, probably either). In the end
I got it all working, but at the cost of much time consuming
trial and error.
I generally prefer to translate stuff than work cross-language.
I certainly find it less frustrating.
