Notes

• CLI: Command-line interface using redirection, not to be confused with a system call.
• PFI: Platform independent or interpreted software
• WSH: Windows Script Host allows the execution of various scripting languages.

• Many clients provide their own scripting language, sometimes in addition to another scripting language.
• Clients providing a modified version of the original TINTIN scripting language are listed as supporting TINTIN.
• Ruby itself supports other scripting languages, most notably C.
