On a PC, it is certainly possible to call Arity Prolog predicates from
Microsoft C.  The prolog does not neccessarily all need to be compiled,
some of it can be consulted in at run time.  You can also call the
Prolog from other MS language implementations such as Fortran if you get
them to call C first. 

Another (PC) option would be to run your C program under Windows3 and
get it to operate a Windows based Prolog that supports DDE.  Prolog-2
for Windows can do this.
