does Maxima have a way to be run from Octave?

wow!!!
this is from Octave back to Octave.
 >> maxima(' LAPLACE(COSH(A*T),T,S);')
ans = A=S/(S^2-A^2);

:-)  :-)

I wrote a little script writer in octave  to make a in.mac file
I then executed a batch file from inside Octave
Maxima wrote the answer to a separate file.
I then read the answer back into octave

thanks for a great program!!!
