Use either DBMS_Pipes package or Ora_FFI package. Ora_FFI is the Oracle foreign function interface which allows you to make calls to C, Fortran, etc. functions which are stored and in linked libraries. This package is only available in DEV/2000 and maybe DES/2000. They really need this for all stored procedures IMHO.
