This is highly dependent upon your compiler's support for extensions to
the standard call syntax. If you're calling Windows APIs, you're
probably not programming in "standard compliant" Fortran (when you use
these extensions). Some people don't mind or require this. I prefer
the simpler call syntax of "standard" Fortran.
