Forgive me if this has been asked before.

I would like to call some compiled LISP routines from my C code.
Say I have a lisp function:

	(defun lisp_fun (bar baz)
	 (......))

I need to call it from a C program:

	#include <strings.h>

	extern char *foo();

	main()
	{
	    printf(foo("str1","str2"));
	}

Is such a thing possible?  I am using Franz LISP, but I can get KCL if
necessary.  I have tried liszt to get a lisp_fun.o, and cc'd it together
with c_fun.o, but the cc linker does not recognize the external call.
Please email, and I will summarize.
