silly question

#1

I just came accross this dotnet.scripting newsgroup. Whats it about? is
there a dotnet version of Windows Script Host? dotnet versions of vbscript
and jscript? I'm refering specifically to the scripting languages not the
full vb.net etc...

just thought I'd ask.. thanks in advance.

Yes the is a scripting host for .net. However,

1. No VBScript, it has been supplanted by VB.NET
2. No Javascript, it has been replaced by JScript - a very different
language with similar syntax to Javascript. MS says that it is ECMAScript
compatible, but don't believe them
