Gambas interpreter

Usage

gbr3 [options] <executable file> [<arguments>]

Overview

Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a mix of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm). With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with Qt or GTK+, access database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases, pilot applications with DBus, translate your program into many languages, create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications, and so on...

gbr3 is the interpreter that allows you to execute a Gambas executable.
