Dear Michael.

ok you have 9000 lines of code but you have nothing told us what's your
program is
doing. Why don't you like setting a link to the pro script? If you set a
nassi
diagram too people who knows C are able to understand a bit more what it
is going on.
May be they are interested in cross compiling.

Why do you like to do this work for them?

The other way is if it is not a widget you can place it on some of the
ion
servers (http://www.rsinc.com/ion/ionscript.cfm). May be your company
has one too.
You have experience whith java so it should be no problem to write the
widget again.
We can discuss if I know a bit more about the project to use probably
our ion server.

The problem with the cross compilation between quite different languages
is
that it could be difficult to get it work. The debugging
could be more difficulty as a new design of the routine for C.
Because normally a lot of the routines we have written for idl exist in
several
libraries for C. But the interface number of parameters and so on could
be different.
Someone who works in the same direction as you probably knows a lot of
this function.
For this person it could be very easy to help coding the project in C.

How much experience did you yourself have which such a thing you are
asking for?
Did you ever used such a program?
