Hi, something like: #include "mathlink.h" static int prev=0; void add_to_previous_sum(int x) { prev+=x; return prev; } :Begin: :Function: add_to_previous_sum :Pattern: AddToPreviousSum[x_Interger] :Arguments: {x} :ArgumentType: {Integer} :ReturnType: Integer :End: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return MLMain(argc,argv); } Regards Jens GS wrote: > I would like to call a C-program from Mathematica.
