Passing a string to an external function

Hi,

I'm not a C++ programmer either, so I tend to use the perl script
`matwrap' that does the hard work of making the C++ file for you; you
just tell it which C functions you'd like to call from Octave, along
with type declarations of those functions.  I've not had any problems
with it.  See: http://lnc.usc.edu/~holt/matwrap/
