Passing Strings

How are Fortran DLLs built which allow string trafficback and forthwith VB6, VS2005, C, C# and Fortran ?

Is there one simple way to accomodate any caller ?

Thanks,

Cliff Phares

If you're willing to have the caller do what is necessary to pass the string in a way Fortran will understand, then the default works fine - declare the argument as CHARACTER(*). This means passing the length by value at the end of the argument list.

If you want the caller to just pass what all those languages think of as a string, then no.
