--------------------------------------------------------------------

This application note corrects a problem that occurs when you link a
mixed-language Windows program using FORTRAN and C. If the FORTRAN
code uses the ALLOCATE statement, LINK generates two errors:

LINK : error L2029: Unresolved external: _hfree
LINK : error L2029: Unresolved external: _hmalloc

The errors are caused by the absence of several routines in the C-
compatible FORTRAN run-time library. To correct this problem, you must
add to the C-compatible FORTRAN run-time library the three object
modules that are included on the enclosed HF0484 disk.

Modifying the C-Compatible FORTRAN Run-Time Library
---------------------------------------------------

To make the correction to the C-compatible FORTRAN run-time library,
copy the following three object modules from the enclosed HF0484 disk
to the directory where your FORTRAN library is located:

WHALLOC.OBJ
WHSEG.OBJ
HMAP.OBJ

Then, enter the following command

LIB + WHALLOC.OBJ + WHSEG.OBJ + HMAP.OBJ;

where represents the name of the C-compatible FORTRAN
run-time library you want to modify. You can then delete the three
object modules from the library directory. The library manager will
make a backup file named . When the new library has been
tested successfully, you can also delete this backup file.
