You could encrypt the Window Eyes hosted scripts if you don't want the
source code visible.

Hi Rick,
well, window-eyes would no longer be able to execute them with it's
built-in scripting engine; so yes, they would technically then become an
"external script", which would mean they would become more complex to
program than the vbs we're covering in class. also, much much more
tedious, as you have to type in a lot of stuff which window-eyes does
automatically supply for you when you use it's built-in scripting engine.
and since these are presumably specific to window-eyes, they offer no
advantage at all when made into an .exe (they aren't machine language,
so they wouldn't even run any faster), and they couldn't be executed by
a user without window-eyes.
unless of course you're not writing window-eyes scripts at all, but more
general scripts; then, the .exe only offers the slight advantage that it
hides your source code; but you can write general scripts meant for
non-window-eyes execution in a straight .vbs file, and it would execute
under any version of windows (as long as you don't care that others can
see your program code).
We will cover these differences a little further on in the class.

I think the executables would be cool. But, would they be external
scripts to WindowEyes?In other words, I dont think they could be loaded
the same way as a text script in Script Manager but I'm not at all sure.

Hi!
I thought you would like it and anyone interested in learning
vbscripting.
Chip had mentioned it off the cuff and it is worth the time to play
with it, especially the making of executable files for portability.

Hi VBS Guys: I also tried VBSEdit and like it allot so far. Line
numbers, Object Browser, Debugging, I couldn't use it yet, Snipets,
over 700 sample scripts and more like Intellisense that works well
with Windoweyes. The sample scripts and snipets cover just about
everything I can think of from ADO Database stuff and Sql Server
management and more to Computer internals listings and things I
don't even know what they are like remote thingys!
Note that I entered * the wildcard character asterik in the search
field under the Sample Scripts menu item in the search box.
For a beginner who knows a little about programming this looks like
a little gem of an application for developing a Windoweyes VBS script.
If you buy it you won't get that annoying pop up that comes up off
and on and then have to click the Evaluation button.
If you work with it too post up anything you find interesting. I
think I missed a few more nice features since I did not understand
them during my first fast run through.
