Hi All, I'm using Mathematica as a computational engine, creating my own front end, as it were. However I cant get mathematica to start automatically from the external program, even using the example factor.c programs with ver 3.7 of Mathlink. I'm using mathematica 4 and winnt ver4 sp5 The command line I'm using from the factor.c file is factor -linkmode launch This launches a window to choose the appropriate file to run. I want this to be done from within the external exe. I've tried some variations such as factor -linkmode launch -math mathlink, but they all bring up the same window or hang the exe file. I've downloaded the mathlink tutorial from the ftp site, had a look at some of the mathematica books and had a browse of the 1742 items that come back from a search of the wolfram website under 'mathlink'. Information on such switch options seems to be sparse. Can anyone give me some pointers to more precise info. Cheers \Andrew Student at Dublin City University Computer Applications (Evening) Year 4
