BlueZone Script Host and Debugger

The BlueZone Script Host and Debugger is a language-independent host for ActiveX scripting engines on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms. This tool allows you to run BlueZone Basic, Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), and JScript natively within the base operating system; either on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP; and acts as a host for other ActiveX-supported scripting languages such as Perl, Rexx, or Python. In addition, BlueZone Script Host and Debugger allows scripts to communicate with BlueZone emulation software products. Using the scripting languages you already know, you can now write scripts to execute common tasks on a wide variety of host systems, automate user input, obtain data from host systems, initiate file transfers, and more.
