Ive bought ron klings book, ive read it and done the examples.

My question is this,

If I have a completed C program, that lets say, has a string output..
without adding any additional lines to the C program, can it be called
in IDL? Ive done this with SPAWN (thanks to your guys help).. but
spawn is not so great (slow, no cross-platform etc).

It seems ron klings method, some code (or, a fair amount) needs to be
added to the C files. Is this just something that im going to have to
live with? I ask because I have to convert several files to IDL and im
looking to do it as easily as possible.

Would call_externals be best for this? For various reasons, I cant use
call external currently (compiler not reconized and I dont have the
discs to re-install right now... "doesnt reconize CL")

Thoughts or Ideas? Thanks!
