No sorry Mark,

This is used to get the address of an exported variable in a DLL.

For instance Allegro has dozens of exported variables for things like
screen / font structure address.  What I did was write my own DLL
and created simple functions which returned these static variables.
I could have (if I had known) just used define_c_var!

The Euphoria doco says define_c_var ss Linux only so I never looked 
further.
