System requirements:

So far, the lew interpreter exist only for windows based environments. It has been tested successfully over various currently available versions of Windows (Windows 2000, XP, Vista) but should work with all availables versions of this operating system.

Mr Grummfy commented in Shoob that it works under linux with wine (you just shouldn't use the .bat launcher and use the following command instead: wineconsole lew.exe test_pshht.txt (or whatever script you want to start)).

Download the Lew insterpreter with a selection of demo scripts (recommended).

Please note that the language is at very early beta stage Be tolerant, or at least do not expect (yet) the robustness of more mature projects :-) Any comments, suggestions, bug report or whatever ?
