This is not really an R help question - you're specifically asking for something that _doesn't_ use R - but if you want to know how R does it the full C and R code for pt and qt in R (the cumulative probability distribution and the inverse, quantile, function respectively) is available in the R source code, which you can obtain from CRAN; see http://CRAN.R-project.org/mirrors.html - see the source code link from any of the listed mirrors.
