Most of the core EPICS libraries are implemented on WIN32 as DLLs with
Microsoft's Pascal calling convention for DLL entry points so that they can
be called from other languages on WIN32. The CA client library is frequently used
as a network transparent API into the EPICS IOC's database, but additional 
wrapper interfaces for interpreted languages also exist. There is documentation 
for the CA libraries on the APS EPICS web pages.
