I agree, even the people who wrote it have given up and started again for version 6!

They are all Turing Complete, so none is more powerful than any of the others, and you could write a Perl interpretter in JScript and then use that.

In fact I think it may be possible to spawn your own scripting engine from within a script, so you could still write in Perl and just have a small JavaScript wrapper (although Patchou can stop this if he wants)

ginge, you're absolutly right... I just hope that you'll be willing to put your knowledge in contribution for Messenger Plus! scripts when the Alpha version comes out... of course, this is if you're willing to accept being a beta tester :)

1. I know you've been concerned on the security. I'd like to add: Scripts to be run on event should always be set manually.

2. Before releasing, try to write a worm with the MsgPlus Scripting platform. I hope nobody can.

3. Is there any way to interface Perl and C/C++ with VBScript/JScript/WSH? Is there a common layer for the three? DDE, maybe?

COM works fine with Perl (PerlScript), but WSH is just COM + a scripting engine bundled in a nice package, so may be more convenient.

2) I will try :), it depends what you class as "security risk".
