I posed this in MF Cobol notes conf - but no reply.

Can't sugest anything, except similar to what the partner already does - use
sockets to connect the C application to a C server which then calls the cobol
funcs.

The preferred method would be to use dlopen(), from C but because MF Cobol needs
its run time environment, you cant link MFCobol routines into shared libraries.

It would also be possible to use the inbuilt MF Cobol dynamic loading feature,
but this needs linking a Cobol module with the C ......
