G'day Murray,

There appears to be an error in  in that it provides
different definitions for RexxFunctionHandler based on whether
__cplusplus is defined or not. This is, of course, totally invalid,
since REXX's calling sequence is the same irrespective of the compiler
language being used. It should always use _System linkage (i.e.
APIENTRY) and any linguistic adjustments should be done in the
APIENTRY definition.

I removed the prototype and added APIENTRY to the entry point
definition and it ran correctly.

Regards

Dave
