I wonder if anyone has a solution or a better way to
do the following:
I have an application which parses a text file, converts it
to C code and then compiles and executes it with a system
call within the application.  The application then reads the
data created and draws the appropriate plots.  It works
but I think it is a kludge.  I don't see anyway around
calling the C compiler short of writing my own interpreter but I hate 
to use system("cc etc").  I just feels wrong.  Any cute ideas?
The application is built in NeXTStep with the interface builder.
Thanks
