From: David H. Lipman on 21 Jun 2010 09:24 From: "Thomas Lauer" <Idle.Script(a)gmail.com> | Idle 1.01 released | ------------------ | I am happy to announce the release of Idle version 1.01. This is a | bugfix and documentation enhancement release. | See http://idle.thomaslauer.com for details about Idle and | http://idle.thomaslauer.com/IdleDownload.html for downloads. | This version is released under an MIT-style licence. It is available for | systems running Windows 2000 and later. | What is Idle? | ------------- | Idle is an extremely compact scripting language based on Lua (see | http://www.lua.org ). Lua is a mature and efficient language, sporting | an easy-to-understand syntax and extraordinary extensibility. | Idle adds some language features to the mix, offers a comprehensive | runtime library and a compiler that produces extremely small .exe files, | both for the console and gui subsystems. | The Idle core library (idle03.dll, just 230 KB) supports, among many | other things, the following: | - a complete GUI module for simple dialog boxes | - pre-emptive multitasking (besides coroutines which are also supported) | - win32 enhancements: console window support, the ability to send | keystrokes to other applications and manipulate windows and processes | - full Perl-compatible regular expressions | - mapping and reading of archive files (.zip and .7z files) | - a socket library for networking support (high- and low-level) | - a transparent just-in-time compiler backend which makes an already | fast language even faster | Among the optional add-ons are the following libraries: | - embed live Perl code (supports dynamic loading of Perl modules) | - compile and execute C code on the fly | - complete SQLite 3 support COM Automation ? WMI ? -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Maybe I'll include COM automation in a future version (it sure would be nice to have), but so far, not many users have expressed a need for that. What would you do with it? A WMI interface is not very probable as it's way beyond my original mission statement. -- cheers thomasl web: http://thomaslauer.com/start
