BlueZone Script Host

BlueZone Script Host is a language-independent host for ActiveX scripting engines on 32-bit Windows platforms. This tool will allow you to run Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) and JScript natively within the base operating system, on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2012, and will act as a host for other ActiveX-supported scripting languages such as Perl, Rexx, and Python. In addition, BlueZone Scripting Host allows scripts to communicate with BlueZone Display emulation software products. Using the scripting languages you already know, you can write scripts to execute common tasks on a variety of host systems, automate user input, obtain data from host systems, initiate file transfers, and more.

Using the BlueZone Script Host and Debugger, BlueZone can record and playback scripts using VBScript or JScript. Once recorded, these scripts may be played back as-is, or edited using the Script Host and Debugger. The record and playback feature makes using VBScript and JScript available to the non-technical user.

BlueZone Script Host and Debugger is also a general purpose VBScript and JScript debugger that supports break points, stepping, and color-coding of scripts providing a powerful interface for script development.
