I've understood Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is similar to unix #! thing in script files, except vastly less elegant. It either uses the file extension or an additional description file to locate the COM server whose IActiveScriptParse interface it uses to start the script execution. The WSH exports some COM interfaces that can be used to modify environment, make simple popup windows etc. I do not know of any method in WSH to access variables in other scripting engine. If such a thing is possible, surely it relies on some capabilities of the scripting language. At least, the WSH interfaces do not have anything to export variables from one scripting engine to another. Perhaps you meant of the generic COM client possibility. It might be nice to have in guile some means to define some CORBA attributes as native scheme variables. For using the WSH COM interfaces, some kind of CORBA<->COM proxy could be used. Anyway, having a guile binary exporting the IActiveScriptParse interface required by WSH to start a script would be nice thing to have. -- Marko Kohtala - Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com, Marko.Kohtala@hut.fi
