Re: execute a Function from other aplication

[Paul Kienzle]

You can use listen() to set up an octave server which receives commands 
over TCP/IP.  See octave-forge/extra/soctcl for an example 
implementation of a client in Tcl.

You can try the engine interface, which opens a pipe to octave.  See 
octave-forge/extra/engine.  You will have to create a DLL from the 
functions which you can then call directly from visual basic or Delphi. 
 You may also want to update the interface to the currently published 
API.  I don't know if this will work under windows.

You can write an embedded interface to octave.  This is already doable 
from C++ if you know the right functions to call.  This needs an 
additional layer to hide the details of how variables are stored. It 
would also be useful to have a C-callable interface so that name 
munging is not an issue but nobody has done it yet.
