If you're using Pascal or C, it is best to write an evaluator.  (I had to
do this once and it is not that hard).  There might be sources for such in 
PD, but not that I know of.  If you are indeed talking about C or Pascal,
e-mail me.  I might be able to dig up the source (I KNOW I have the C one,
the pascal... I'll check for)
