/******************************************************************************
* MODULE     : TeXmacs.h
* DESCRIPTION: Include file for communication of extern packages with TeXmacs
* COPYRIGHT  : (C) 1999  Joris van der Hoeven
*******************************************************************************
* This software falls under the GNU general public licence and comes WITHOUT
* ANY WARRENTY WHATSOEVER. See the file $TEXMACS_PATH/LICENCE for more details.

*******************************************************************************
* The TeXmacs communication protocol works as follows:
*   - First of all, the protocol is dynamic. All protocols define
*     the abstract structures 'TeXmacs_exports' and 'package_exports'.
*     These structures contain the version of the protocol used
*     and the versions of TeXmacs and the package
*   - Version n of the concrete protocol implements two structures
*     'TeXmacs_exports_n' and 'package_exports_n'.
*     The first structure contains all routines and data of TeXmacs,
*     which may be necessary for the package.
*     The structure 'package_exports' contains all routines and data
*     of the package, which should be visible for TeXmacs
*   - Now the package has to be a dynamically linkable library,
*     which implements a function
*        package_exports* get_my_package (int version);
*     In order to link your package to TeXmacs, you will now have to
*     call the TeXmacs function
*        void package_declare (string name, string lib, string f, string init);
*     Here 'name' is the name of your package under TeXmacs,
*     'lib' the name of the library, 'f' the function 'get_my_package' and
*     'init' an initialization string.
