Can you compile a 64-bit version?

I want to use this scripting engine in directory opus, but 64-bit directory Opus cannot use this 32-bit scripting engine.

Chr, Ord, Succ, Pred functions

2007-12-25T01:21:41Z

It would be nice to have Pascal's Chr, Ord, Succ and Pred functions, making it possible to handle special characters, insert newline and pagefeeds in strings and other characters-related manipulations.

const BS = 8;
TAB = 9;
LF = 10;
VT = 11;
FF = 12;
CR = 13;

var st1 : string;
st1 := 'hello'+ chr(CR) +'world';

Support for IActiveScript IDispatch calls

2007-12-24T06:20:48Z

IActiveScript::GetScriptDispatch should return a dispatch inerface that the host can use to call into functions, methods, and variables of the engine.

This means an engine that parsed the following:
function test : string;
begin
result := 'succeeded';
end;
Should give a valid DispID when calling GetIDsOfNames on the dispatch interface returned by IActiveScript::GetScriptDispatch, and execute this function and return a Variant set to VT_BSTR,"succeeded" when calling Invoke with that DispID.

Support for IActiveScript expressions

2007-12-24T06:13:27Z

Support for the SCRIPTTEXT_ISEXPRESSION flag in IActiveScriptParse::ParseScriptText.
This is needed for hosts to be able to ask the engine to perform an evaluation and get the result.
