Interesting, maybe I'll have a go at getting it running on Symbian when I get some time to spare.

That would be excellent too, good luck.

What was the most confusing part about getting ScriptBasic working on your system? What in your opinion would entice others to try ScriptBasic?

I think I downloaded the 3.0 release first figuring that was the latest and greatest without actuall reading the instructions in the post, and was looking for a setup.exe file. It was later when I downloaded 2.1 and then went back and actually read your post that I realized that the setup.exe program was in the 2.1 release. Details, always details.  ;)

As far as enticing users: I might create Joe's SB site and post some sample code, maybe with some graphics programs, or simple games including screenshots. Let others post comments and code to the sight. Also, maybe compare SB to other BASICs out there for features, etc.. Just some thoughts.

Support:
Peter has a utility in the 2.1 source that will create a setup.exe but it's antiquated and difficult to use after a new build. (one of the things on my list to do)

ScriptBasic by default is an embeddable Basic like scripting API. I use the console mode interpreter and web server variations that are great examples of embedding the ScriptBasic API.

I view the command line interpreter as a general purpose scripting engine that runs on most everything using little code to accomplish significant tasks.
