Any effort to write a program to access a table directly and output a DXF file will cost you far more in time and effort than converting that table using MapInfo itself, or a third-party translation program.
The best you can hope for is to buy MapInfo, and then use Integrated Mapping in C/C++ to open a table and then export it as DXF. An example C integrated mapping program (FINDZIP) comes with MapBasic. You can probably adapt this to perform the open/export you need (you're essentially executing MapBasic code passed into MapInfo as a string). Alternatively, third-party conversion utilities may have APIs that allow for more flexibility/streamlining of the process. Anything beyond this is like asking someone to provide you with a space shuttle assembly line for free. AFAICT MapInfo still considers the inner workings of its native data format a trade secret, and allows access to those workings only under special arrangement.
