Washington School Information Processing Cooperative (WSIPC) Warren Falls 20000 Cypress Way Lynnwood, WA 98036 (206) 775-8471 Program: SCRIPT Date: Spring 1987 Description: Script is a menu-driven, command-language-level user interface. Simply put, Script reads it own DCL-like control language files and creates menus, from these and executes whatever commands are associated with each chosen menu selection. Its target terminal device is any ANSI supporting CRT, but it will deal with hardcopy devices with some grace. This is Script's second submission. There has been several important enhancements, the main ones involve the use of mailboxes. Mailboxes solve several major problems, by allowing script to communicate to sub-processes or as a sub-process to the parent process. This skips the problems of speed and context that came from the use of the SPAWN directive. See AAAREADME.DOC for a description of the directory contents.
