Windows Script Host

Note - the official Less node runs on windows, so we are not sure why you would use this.

Less.js for Windows with this usage:

cscript //nologo lessc.wsf input.less [output.css] [-compress]

or

lessc input.less [output.css] [-compress]

dotless

dotless for Windows can be run like this:

dotless.Compiler.exe [-switches] <inputfile> [outputfile]
