@chapter Mathematica Client Functions

The program @code{math2ox} is an external module for Mathematica
to call OpenXM servers.
The @code{math2ox} communicates with OpenXM servers by the OpenXM protocol
and communicates with Mathematica by MathLink.

@item  It starts the OX server @code{s}. 
@item Servers are looked for in the directory $OenXM_HOME/bin , hoge hoge.
@end itemize

@example
In[1]:= Install["math2ox"]
In[2]:= pid = OxStart["ox_sm1"]
@end example

In this example, @code{ox_sm1} is started on the local machine.

@example
In[4] := OxSendMessage[pid, "(CMO_LIST, (CMO_STRING, "hello world"), (CMO_ZERO))"]
In[5] := OxSendMessage[pid, "(OX_COMMAND, (SM_popCMO))"]
@end example

In this example, an OX data message 
(OX_DATA, (CMO_LIST, (CMO_STRING, "hello world"), (CMO_ZERO)) 
and an OX command message (OX_COMMAND, (SM_popCMO)) are sent to 
the OX server @code{pid}.

@c  Put descriptions of a next function.
