---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nombas has developed a JavaScript compatible interpreter that you can include
in your application or embedded system. This interpreter developer's kit is
called the ScriptEase:Integration SDK. Using an interpreter in your
application means you get:
Faster Application Development
More Flexible Applications
Easier Portability
Improved Code Reuse
The ScriptEase:Integration SDK allows you to embed into your C/C++ application
a fully functional, JavaScript compatible, script language interpreter. You
get the full power of an interpreter engine without the time, engineering and
hardware resources normally required when developing your own macro language
interpreter. The ScriptEase Interpreter offers all the flow control
operators: if, else, while, do/while, for switch, and goto. Also included are
the pre-processor directives, #include, #if, #ifdef, #else #ifel, #endif,
#define.
With The ScriptEase:Integration SDK you can allow access to your applications'
functions and data through a controlled and safe environment. ScriptEase
variables include bytes, longs, floats and dynamically size able arrays and
structures. You can create ScriptEase functions that take a variable number
of arguments, or take variables of various types. You can also create global
variables and #defines that can be accessed by any script. The option to
interpret from a string in memory or from a file is available. The SDK even
includes a ScriptEase stack API that lets your C/C++ application call
ScriptEase functions directly.
The ScriptEase:Integration SDK is the easiest embeddable interpreter to use
and by far the most flexible. There are only two functions required to
initialize the interpreter and two calls to clean up. A fifth call,
CmmInterpt(), interprets the ScriptEase code. To extend the interpreters
function library with your own calls, simple wrapper functions will need to be
written. There are over 75 API functions available for you to get the exact
behavior you want from your ScriptEase functions. VBA, Perl, Python, tcl,
Java, none of these have the balance of power, flexibility, and ease-of-use
that the ScriptEase:Integration SDK offers. Do virtually anything you would
do in a compiled language in ScriptEase:
Read a file from a menu selection or button press
Make a calculation
Simulate key strokes
Format screen, file or printer output
Automate tasks
Spawn and/or subclass an application
Communicate via a network or with hardware
Make system calls
The ScriptEase:Integration SDK ships with numerous sample applications,
on-line and printed documentation (HTML format), and over 100 sample wrapper
functions. Also included is technical support via email, fax or phone. The
ScriptEase:Integration SDK is available for Windows 3.1, Windows '95/NT/PPC,
Linux, UNIX (Sun/Solaris, AIX, Irix, HP-UX, Digital UNIX, SCO Unix & FreeBSD),
DOS (including DPMI), OS/2, MacOS (68k and PPC), NetWare, and embedded
systems.
