WinWrap Basic WWB by Polar Engineering and Consulting is a third party macro language based on Visual Basic used with programmes of various types ref http www.winwrap.com web basic default.asp ref which its vendor touts as an alternative to ActiveX e.g. VBScript , JScript , PerlScript , Rexx based WSH engines and others , Visual Basic for Applications , and VSTA for this purpose. The WWB software package is used in conjunction with Microsoft development tools including Visual Studio, Visual Studio.NET, and the ActiveX scripting engines. The current version, 10.01, is available for different combinations of OS and platform. There are four types of WWB, those being WWB.NET for the .NET object model used with Visual Studio.NET 2005 and 2008 and VSTA , .WWB COM for the COM object model Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET earlier versions , both of which are used with all Windows 32 and 64 bit operating systems of from Windows 95 to Windows VIsta the other two packages are for Windows CE and PocketPC & Windows Mobile. Earlier versions of WWB ran under Windows 3.1 and ostensibly OS 2 Warp 3 as well. WWB is integrated into many software packages including most categories of PC and server software as well as software used to run various types of equipment like mass spectrometers and other lab equipment.

Mallard BASIC is a BASICprogramming language BASIC Interpreter computing interpreter for CP M written by Locomotive Software and supplied with the Amstrad Amstrad PCW PCW range of small business computers , the ZX Spectrum 3 version of CP M Plus , and the Acorn BBC Micro Z80 second Processor. In the 1980s, it was standard industry practice to bundle a BASIC interpreter with microcomputers, even though the PCW was primarily a Locoscript wordprocessor for business use. However, the machine was not a dedicated wordprocessor WP it also ran the CP M operating system . Though there were existing implementations of BASIC for CP M, such as Digital Research s CBASIC and the third party ZBasic , they followed the earlier 1970s model of compiler s, fed source code prepared in a separate text editor . Mallard was more like a traditional micro Read only memory ROM BASIC, with an integrated editor which was tailored for the PCW s non standard 90 column screen. Although the PCW actually had excellent monochrome graphics support for its time and specification, closely comparable to the Hercules Graphics Card for the Personal computer PC , Mallard BASIC had no graphics support whatsoever. Instead, Locomotive optimised it for business use, with, for instance, full ISAM random access file support, making ... that was used to name Mallard BASIC no other Locomotive product was named after anything railway oriented ... for BASIC programmers.
