Has anyone used ACL for Windows to provide a back-end symbolic computation
engine to a Windows 3.1 App written in MSVC++ ?
The online documentation and FAQs explain how to do foreign-function
integration and callbacks, but I've seen no mention of using ACL as
a behind-the-scenes engine to implement the smarts of an application
that is essentially written in C++ with things like the Microsoft
Foundation Classes.

Not for symbolic computation, no... But I am using ACL4WIN on NT "behind the scenes" in a system that uses other apps built using V=
C++. The trick is to establish some kind of IPC between the two processes (there are lots of ways to do this). ACL4WIN must poll t=
he interface, since it's not safely interruptible by callbacks from the other process.
