a mix of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm).

pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into many languages, and so on...

gbs3 is the interpreter that allows you to compile and execute a Gambas script.
gbs3 may also be used to convert a gambas project to a script

display help and exit
display a list of available Components or Libraries, '-l component' or '-l library'
display license
fail if 'Public' or 'Sub' are defined without a 'main' function otherwise create main()
turn on tracing option during execution
only print a very terse error report on compile errors
load component or libraries ('comp1,comp2,lib1...')

display version
display warnings during compilation
convert a simple project to a script

gbs3 can convert a gambas project to an executable script file using the --convert-project option.
