Use Octave's interpreter in my C++ program...

I have tried out your idea and it works very well for me. Your new approach 
looks much better than the previous embedded one which referred to matrices 
conversion from ASCII to the internal octave representation and back to ASCII.

Thank you very much for this great idea.
