What is "ActiveScript compliant xbScript Dll":
----------------------------------------------

xbScript is an xBase scripting engine, compliant with the Microsoft
ActiveScript specifications. The Microsoft ActiveScript specifications are
standardized conventions based on OLE, to enable script engines in varieties
of environments (Script Hosts).

xbScript.dll enables xBase scripting (exactly like MS vbScript and JScript)
including the complete Clipper/xHarbour RTL, OOP, DBFNTX,
DBFCDX, etc., in any MS ActiveScript compliant Host. For example:

- Windows Script Host
- Internet Explorer (html scripts)
- IIS (asp scripts)

All of Clipper and xHarbour syntax is now supported, (and most of FoxPro
syntax) except.

- Module wide STATIC variables
- Extended Codeblocks (Extended INLINE Methods *are* supported
using other approach)
- LOCAL, and STATIC variables are simulated using PRIVATE memvars.
- MEVARS, and FIELDS declarations are ignored.
- Detached LOCALs in Codeblocks, as we don't have real LOCALs.
