An interactive tutorial for uCalc Language Builder is now available. It  will 
walk you through various concepts and allow you to experiment as you go  
along. In addition to that, this beta now comes with a full help file for uCalc  
LB and one for the Interactive Interpreter.
 
If you have downloaded previous betas of uCalc LB, and couldn't figure it  
out, then you should download this one. With the included help files and  
interactive tutorial, it should now be significantly easier to understand how to  
make use of uCalc LB.
 
The fully functional download includes the following:
* uCalc Language  Builder component
* Interactive interpreter (which can also run script  files)
* Interactive instructional tutorial
* Interpreted versions of  Lisp, Forth, BASIC, and more
* Line-by-line explanation files to accompany  source code files
* Help files for uCalc LB and uCalc Interpreter
 
The file to download is _http://www.ucalc.com/beta/lbnov07b.zip_ 
(http://www.ucalc.com/beta/lbnov07b.zip)   .
 
I look forward to hearing from others in this Lightweight Languages  forum.
 
So what exactly is uCalc Language Builder?
 
uCalc LB is designed to let you easily create your own interpreted /  
scripting languages. It comes with sample languages such as Lisp, Forth,  BASIC and 
more. These are defined in plain text files, which you can load  right up into 
the generic uCalc interpreter, at which point it becomes an  interpreter for 
the language you have just loaded. The interpreter can run code  either from 
script files or interactively.
 
In addition to constructing programming languages, you can use the  
interpreter for powerful text processing, or as a command line calculator /  expression 
evaluator.
 
The current version runs under Windows.
