ALIAS

 cDEC$ ALIAS

 Specifies an alternate external name to be used when referring to
 external subprograms.  It takes the following form:

 cDEC$ ALIAS internal-name, external name

   c               Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or *.

   internal-name   Is the name of the subprogram as used 
                   in the current program unit.

   external name   Is a name, or a character constant delimited 
                   by quotation marks or apostrophes.

 If a name is specified, the name (in uppercase) is used as the
 external name for the specified "internal-name".  If a character
 constant is specified, it is used as is; the string is not changed
 to uppercase nor are blanks removed.

 The ALIAS directive affects only the external name used for
 references to the specified "internal-name".

 Names that are not acceptable to the linker will cause link-time
 errors.

 This directive can be useful when compiling applications written
 for other platforms that have different naming conventions.
