Well, it would be hard for me to know what's wrong without knowing what FAR,
PASCAL and __declspec are. I'd guess they're macros, but what they expand
to is unkown. This appears to be Windows stuff (and possibly OLD windows
stuff, given the FAR specifier), so you might ask in a windows newsgroup.
(Also, shouldn't there be a semi-colon at the end of that line?)

There's no name for the function here. Should be a function
name between the first ) and the following (

Is this a function declaration? If yes, where is the name of the function ?
