Just run MAXIMA from the command line, and pipe its input and output
appropriately.
You can even do this on Windows (the program to run is MAXIMA.BAT, located
in the BIN subdirectory under your MAXIMA installation directory.) For
instance:
C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.9.1\bin>copy con stuff.mac
diff(x^3,x);
^Z
1 file(s) copied.
C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.9.1\bin>type stuff.mac | maxima.bat >result.txt
C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.9.1\bin>type result.txt
Maxima 5.9.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net

Is there a way to run Maxima from another program and get some results
back to the calling program?
