I have no idea what the limits are regarding calling
functions directly 
from OOo Basic.  However, this would probably only work with
argument 
types which are similar to UNO types. In other words, if a
function 
takes VARIANTs then this will not work. There is the
possibility of 
calling automation objects from OOo Basic. That is, you
could put all 
your functions in one IDispatch object and use it then from
Basic.

I think there was still a problem with multidimensional
arrays. Apart 
from that this could work.
