OK, I've cleaned up and documented what I have. You can get it:

And, of course, all my projects are here:

I assume you mean euscript.e? It allows users to customize their
application with their own script, without having to mess with the source
code.
My original use for this was for a collectible card game, where each card
could have unique effects. Rather than trying to hard code this stuff in,
my idea was to use a scripting language. Then, I could store the cards in a
database, and you could create, edit and trade cards without messing with
any of the main source code.
Or, imagine that you've written something similar to MS Access, only using
EDS (this is another project goal of mine). Having a scripting language
would let you have customized events for forms.

Pardon my ignorance, i'm new to Euphoria. Does that euscript.e scripting
language exist and is it available? How does it works? Can you embed it
in an application you develop? Is it along the line of many commercial
DBMS wich have their own native Scripting language to automate many
things in the application created with them?
That's a lot of question but this looks (possibly) pretty exiting

Yes, euscript.e does exist. You can get it from:
http://www14.brinkster.com/matthewlewis/projects.html
You can embed it within your application, and then pass Euphoria code to it
to be run. You can also supply hooks into your application, so that the
script can interact with your program (i.e., call routines, change variable
values). The idea is that you could create an application similar to those
commercial DBMSes, only the scripting language is just Euphoria. Some day
I'd like to extend my Euphoria Database Browser to allow creation of
database apps, similar to the way that Access works.

Matt:
When you say embedded in a program are you talking
about ANY langauge or just Euphoria ?

6. RE: Modified Interpreter
I'm talking Euphoria, although it should be possible to turn euscript into a
dll, and use it from another language.

Ah, well, as with the original eu.ex, Rob decided he didn't want to put this
on his page, since it has the potential to compete with Euphoria. But
please feel free to vote for my other stuff. :)
