If the problem is just the name, why don't you just use the "Link_Name"
parameter to "pragm Import" to specify the name they actually used?

However, you may want to check the C header files for that routine to make sure
the calling convention is what you think it is. I have seen DLL's with routines
with different conventions in them before.
