Re: Can an M4-program read data out of an C-program?

Thanks a lot for your respons! It helps me a great deal on the way to  
a solution.
The problem is that I have to transfer about a 120 values. Is it  
possible to do this with arrays or so? Or do I have to give each one  
an individual name and transfer them individualy?
