Hi,
the web language requires that subroutines declared as
forward cannot have any parameters. Is there a way to remove
this restriction?
If you are willing to tie yourself to web2c, then you can use
the @define construct in pdftex.defines instead of using a proper
forward declaration. I just tried that, it works fine.
Otherwise, you will have to change the 'tangle' program, afaik.
ha, I have also tried to workaround by using a wrapper C
function. Your trick is nicer.

Thanks,
Thanh
