Thanks Andrew

That clarifies things. The point seems to be: do I expect my API to be called
directly from some non-C language? I see that for the CA client library it is
important to support that. For the sequencer the only function I could imagine
to be called in this way is the 'seq' function that starts a program. I'll
review the API to see if there are more functions of this sort and re-add the
epicsShareAPI to them.

Cheers
Ben
