does it mean it support alias->(), array={}, array[1][2], preprocessor,
built-in dbf/ntx engine,
or is limited my microsoft language's syntax rules'
on xharbour bage is mentioned that that classic gui [say/get/browse ...) is
not supported, but why, they only need some screen buffer to render their
inputs/outputs.
on that way xscript could easily maintain clp compatibility ...

Yes, 100% Clipper compatible Pre-Processor (actually enhanced), complete
DBFNTX, and DBFCDX, complete support for all of Clipper syntax, including
Aliases, Arrays, Codeblocks, etc.

No.

XbScript is HOSTED by the ScriptHost, like Internet Explorer, Windows Script
Host, IIS, etc. this Hosts offer their own UI, so we are not supposed to use
any Screen Output directly.

For CLIENT side script, you need ActiveScript compliant Browser (same as
VBScript) - I've heard that ActiveScript maybe available but I'm not sure.
ASP scripts (SERVER side) run on the server and thus compatible with all
browsers.
