Using pipes.

[Gomez Addams]

I just joined up here and I saw your post. I just had the exact same need. Thought of redirects and pipes, but I resolved the problem using a tcp connection between the two programs. I despaired of the built in tcp functions and unsafe warnings in qbpe docs, and just rolled my own little client / server in C to do the job. The qbpe / C code interface is really powerful once you figure out how to pass data from/to it. This was only made difficult because I don't actually know what I'm doing. I will put  together a simple example for you and post it out here later if you are interested.
