JuraScript is... a native .NET script interpreter with COM/ActiveX support, JavaScript console and an MSI installer to add support for the .JUR file extension.
JuraScript takes the Jurassic JavaScript engine and uses its API to extend functionality such that existing JScript scripts can be executed under Jurassic without any modifications. JuraScript is aimed at end-users, as well as IT administrators and web developers.
JuraScript's goals are to stay current with Jurassic and compatible with the latest version. Unfortunately, minor changes were needed to enhance JuraScript functionality. Requests have been made to have these changes added to the Jurassic engine.
