If that's the case, you are almost there. You've got the DLL name exported properly. The problem will lie in the size of the arguments you are passing or returning. For example, you are passing a long where the fprintf expects an int or something like that.

Try it first by just passing one int in as an argument, and instead of using the void return type, try returning an int as well. Once you've got that working, then try adding more inputs, and changing the return type to void.

I do recall using the pascal calling convention.

I'm pretty sure if you keep at it one step at a time, you'll solve it.
