It uses e.g. "STDCALL", so supposedly it is an ANSI C based interface.

If the obj file format is not GNU/FPC compatible and can't be used by 
the linker in fpc, " Safenet" might be able to provide a GNU C version 
of that file.


But being able to successfully link might not be enough. It might be 
possible that the  Safenet thingy does some encryption with the exe 
information file to allow only execution only if  the correct dongle is 
found. That might or might not be compatible with fpc generated exes.
