Matlab & Excel interface?

[cfman]

Hi all,

If the front GUI is in Excel, and the heavy-duty backend computational
engine is in Matlab, what is the best way to handle this interfacing
problem?

Another headache problem is: for the users who only use Excel and who has no
desire to purchase a Matlab licence and work with Matlab, what's the best
way to package that Matlab computational engine along with the Excel?

Thanks a lot!

That's a MatLab question, not an Excel one. Why not start by doing a
wee bit of research on the MathWorks web site. I just tried that, and
I came away with the following likely links.

If the MatLab compiler can create EXEs, there are crude ways to tie
Excel together with arbitrary EXEs.
