<HTML><BODY><span style="font-family: monospace;">Hi Sebastien,<br>
<br>
On your suggestion, I looked into Lua, and I think it's pretty cool. Once I poked about a bit, and actually looking into a sample, I decided to try it out, and got it running in no time! True, to actually use it will take a little more work, but it looks pretty straight-forward.<br>
<br>
FWIW - I am using the Gaisler RTEMS and tools - as I'm using their board ;-) - and am using their Eclipse plug-in. With that, it was a simple matter to create a static library project within my workspace, and after telling Eclipse to use the RTEMS tools and to only build the lua-5.1.4/src/ directory, it built me a nice library first time 'round. Then, using a sample in lua-5.1.4/etc as a model, and an example on the Lua wiki somewhere, I was able to set up Lua, call it from C++, and get information back; actually running a script should be trivial, once I figure out the ramdisk...<br>
<br>
So, while I haven't yet used it for any real work, the initial experience with Lua is very positive!<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
