If I'm understanding correctly.. you want to interface those C routines with
Euphoria? If so.. compile that code with your C compiler into a DLL or SO. Name
it Dog.dll (Windows) or Dog.so (Linux/FreeBSD), then try this code:

-- File extention must be EXW or EXU.

include dll.e

atom dllBark, bark, mush

dllBark = open_dll("Dog.dll")   --  make a DLL/SO of that C code
mush = define_c_proc(dllBark, "mush", {C_CHAR, C_INT})
bark = define_c_func(dllBark, "bark", {}, C_INT)

if atom(c_func(bark, {})) then
    c_proc(mush, {"scooby", "dino", "astro", "spike"})
end if

machine_proc(26, 0) -- pause

I didnt try making a DLL of that code, so their could be a error with my
Euphoria code, but perhaps that will help you out, or maybe I'm way off :P.
