Hello,

if you want to use mathematica inside fortran, using linux you can use
scripts to execute an notebook in command line.

this in fortran code:
call system("scriptname")

script:
run the notebook, saved in .m form, and produce output in file m2
$dir/MathKernel < $(where the .m file is)/math1.nb.m > m2

get output and just write the number in m3
grep 'Out' m2 | cut -f 2 -d' ' > m3

fortran code:
wait till the file m3 exists and read the number.

This is a little bit constructed but it works. You just have to test
wich outpur form is the best for importing in fortran with the high
precision you want.

Greetings

Guido
