a) since you wrote the C code yourself, discard it and write your Scheme 
code that is equivalent. In general, the Scheme version will be shorter, 
easier to understand/maintain (in short, better)...
b) if there is any reason that method A is impossible (say part of the C 
code can't be rewrite in Scheme), then Scheme's Foreign Language 
Interface is the way to go. Since you are following the document and got 
shucked, maybe you should post here the part you have problem with (i.e. 
the part of the doc that you can't understand), so others can provide help.
