You do it the other way, meaning that you use engine functions to access QOF. I 
should have mentioned in my last message that the developer documentation is at 
http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/. In addition to C there are also Python and 
Guile (Scheme) bindings that you can use.

I think it's a much better plan to have your app write to a transfer file. QIF 
is what we usually recommend. There is unfortunately no QIF exporter for going 
the other way.
