    I can't believe all the biased articles on this place! I can't believe the would cover Perl, tcl, etc, and leave out the Windows Batch file scripting language! This is dispicable! It's so powerful, no wonder it's #1.

    The scripts review YOU!

    Nice try, but as I understand the form, you need to avoid the article "the" or Smirnoff will never option your screenplay. For example:

    In Soviet Russia, article omits you!

    Moderators: I am not trying to encourage the form, other than trying to bring it to a bearable levels of authenticity.

  6. Rexx has no equal. by Wargames · · Score: 3, Funny

    For scripting, there are not equals to Rexx the king of scripting languages.

    The programming language Rexx runs great as Regina on Linux/UNIX/NT, or Rexx under OS2 Warp or NT is cross platform with minimal changes.

    Rexx http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/rexx/
    Regina http://regina-rexx.sourceforge.net/

    Can your scripting language do this out of the box:
