Yes, it's true (for most platforms). A "wrapper" routine
written in C is necessary -- but anything that can be
called from C can be called from IDL, in principle.

For f77 programs, there's now a pretty good, semi-automatic
way of generating the C wrapper function: Look at

http://www.uio.no/~steinhh/idl/dlmform.html

One big area of trouble is *strings* - I don't know enough on
how Fortran XX handles strings, and it's a troublesome area
in general, so beware. But who writes Fortran subroutines to
manipulate strings...???

Also see http://www.uio.no/~steinhh/idl/additions.html for a
brief discussion on Dynamicaly Loadable Modules in general,
and some C examples.
