The source code for my project is here:
https://github.com/davidandl/Andl/tree/master/plandl
https://github.com/davidandl/Andl/blob/master/plandl/plandl.c

I was not able to get this file to compile correctly in C++, and my
recollection is that at the time I asked on this list and that was the
advice. 

Sorry, I don't remember the error but it seemed to be too deeply embedded to
worry about. I just wrote the C code and moved on.

Since the Windows COM in the other part is C++ only, I finished up with a
mixed build. It works fine, but is not the ideal outcome.
