I've found I have to use a .bat batch file to interface. It works now, but I'd still prefer a more efficient method. I wonder if there are any working demos for the api out on the net? I will look. I've found myself at a point that I must find out how to use Link42.exe. It is intense to someone who is not an English major, well at least it is to me. I decided to create a demo just to tell if the sentence is a real sentence (makes sence) and not garbage. I should have this done very soon now that I have a working interface. All I have to do is parse it.
