You'd need to use the ipc family of functions (ipcBeginProcess) to interface
from SKILL to an external (complete) C++ program. You cannot link in C/C++ code
into the DFII environment.

It is possible to use C/C++ with DFII databases using ITK, but this would still
be a separate executable which can access the database, which may not be what
you want.

There are various threads on this in the past in this newsgroup. Do some
searching on google groups to find them.
