If you want to communicate with other CAS, you should have a look to the SCSCP
protocol desgiedn by the SCIEnce project.
It allows to communicate in a client/server manner.
The clients and servers have been designed for several CAS, such as maple,
mathematica, gap, macaulay2, trip, ....
You can design your own client or server using the C or C++ API
(http://www.imcce.fr/trip/scscp) or the Java API (http://java.symcomp.org/)
I designed the C/C++ library.
It will be easy to design a client for the function solveFor.
This function corresponds to the following example (C or C++):
http://www.imcce.fr/trip/scscp/doc/scscp.html#Design-a-SCSCP-C_002b_002b-client
http://www.imcce.fr/trip/scscp/doc/scscp.html#Design-a-SCSCP-C-client
In these examples, you can retrieve the openmath expression as a string (see
solution 2).
Several examples are available in the directory examples of the C/C++ library.
The SCIEnce project is available at : http://www.sympcomp.org (but it seems
that the website is down for the moment).

My apologies. I think I did not say that very well. I would only use openMath
to encode the equation or formula part of the command to the CAS. So I would
use it as a standard for encoding
mathematical objects, but not for use internal to any part of my application.
At the same time it would not be the entire command language to access the CAS.
For example I might have a function like this:
char * solveFor(char* openMathEquation, char* variable )
{
// take openMathEquation and put it into the format expected by CAS
// set up command for CAS
// send command to CAS
// get result form CAS and turn into a openMath string
// return the openMath string
}
My project is more about the interface so maybe I should choose one CAS and not
abstract its interface and that would save me all the trouble of using openMath.
Thank-you.
PS If someone wants to give input on the design or goals of my calculator
(other then the openMath part), send me an email, and I will let you know a
little more details on what I am trying to do.

I see. Yes, that would be trickier.
