Notes

• WSH: Windows Script Host allows the execution of various scripting languages.
• CLI: command-line interface using redirection, not to be confused with system (C standard library)
• 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.
