I'm posting this for a friend. Please reply to him, not me.

To anyone interested in communicating with Mathematica using pipes.
It's pretty easy to do. To set up communication I used the source code in

/NextLibrary/Documentation/Mathematica/UnixSummary.wn

However, I could only get this code to run on my NeXT  after the following
changes in the code were made.

1)  mmapath = usr/local/bin/math    should be  mmapath = usr/bin/math

2)  every occurrence (including those occurring in strings sent to
    Mathematica)   of   //    should be replaced by   /

3)  there should be only one call to   fetchresult()  to absorb
    initialization messages harmessly (not two)
