VERSION 7.0 AUTHOR Daniel Stenberg email:dast@sth.frontec.se FidoNet: 2:201/328 DESCRIPTION FPL is an interpreting script/macro language shared library, designed to be flexible and easy inserted in any code. FPL is a complete script programming language _very_ similar to C. If you are a software developer and plan to add any kind of macro/script control, consider the FPL alternative! The library lets the software programmer define functions that FPL should accept. The library will call a function in the software whenever any of these functions are used in an FPL program. FPL is distributed with extensive documentation and full source code. It has been successfully compiled under a large number of operating systems, in most of them as shared library. Features include: o Full ANSI C syntax statements with semicolon separations. o String, integer/long, char and short variables, including multidimensional arrays. o 100% ANSI C operator precedence and expression syntax. o C and C++ style comments. Optionally nested comments. o A subset of the ANSI C function declaration and prototyping syntax and concepts. The use of functions is exactly as C. NEW FEATURES o A few, more or less sever, bugs removed. o Enhanced documentation structure. o [SunOS] GCC compiles should work. o switch() - extended C functionality. Handles strings and dynamic case expressions. o [Amiga] Funclibs: FPL now supports functions added by external third party programs. Add compiled functions to any host using fpl.library. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS The Amiga version requires at least AmigaDOS version 1.3 and runs fine on systems featuring 512KB and even less! HOSTNAME Any Aminet site such as ftp.luth.se (and also available by emailing the author). DIRECTORY The file is named fpl70.lha, and resides in the /pub/aminet/dev/lang/ directory. PRICE Free.
