Can I call the following Carbon C++ function from the

I have to use Apple Events because that's what's
available to me.
Thanks.

This is all just C, so drop it in as-is to your existing codebase and
just call it. Remember that Obj-C is a superset of C. Also remember
to link against the Carbon framework to gain access to those APIs.
Note that you can also incorporate C++ code; search the docs/archives
for examples if needed.
