MortScript v4.2

Description:
MortScript interprets a (quite) simple batch language. If you know .bat files in DOS or shell scripts: it's something like that. Its focus is to remote control or launch other applications, not to write real applications. I.e., you can't do complex dialogs or graphics with it.

Features:
* Run, activate, hide, close, and kill programs
* Wait functions: certain timespan, wait for existence or activation of windows, lots of other conditions (SleepMessage).
* Send keystrokes, mouse clicks, and some window messages (OK, Cancel, Yes, and No buttons) to windows
* File operations: copy, rename/move, delete, create shortcuts, read and write text files
* Support of ZIP archives (no replacement of existing archived files)
* Read/write access to serial (COM) ports
* Create and remove directories
* Read from and write into the registry
* Open and close connections (closing no longer possible since WM5 AKU3), read files from the Internet
* Several condition and loop structures (If, Switch, Choice dialog, While, ForEach, ...)
* Lots of system features (e.g. rotation, volume, backlight brightness, soft reset, battery level, ...)
* Subroutines (Call, Sub/EndSub)
* Variables, expressions (integer operations, string contatenations, ...), and lots of integrated functions

Since V4.0 with lots of new functions and a modern syntax.
The old syntax will work, too, except for some rare exceptions.

The download contains installation and binaries for all supported systems. For the PC version, there's no setup, only binaries in bin\PC.
