Neil...
  When using _pascal calling conventions in a C program (at least on PC's), 
the following things change:
1.  The unmodified identifier name is converted to all caps.
2.  The order in which the arguments are pushed onto the stack is reversed.
3.  The function assumes responsibility for cleaning the stack rather than 
he
    caller.
  It is this last point which makes _pascal functions slightly faster than 
their default C counterparts. Note also that the identifier name is not 
altered other than to be converted to an all caps case-insensitive version. 
All other name conversions supported by the implementation (e.g. prepended or 
appended '_' characters) are suppressed.
