But for what exactly do you need mash.c? What is wrong with the
'math < inputfile > outputfile' solution? Until now I was satisfied
with that method to invoke mathematica from within a unix shell
(and with the '!' prefix to invoke the shell from within math) so
you made me curious what I am missing :-)
