  1.0  ABSTRACT
  -------------

  C Styled Script (CSS) is a script / macro programming language. CSS uses
  the C syntax and seems familiar to C, C++ or Java programmers.

  CSS comes with ready to use libraries not only for system-, string-,
  regular expression and filehandling, but also for direct access to the major
  relational databases IBM DB2 and ORACLE.

  While CSS contains an executive for running scripts from the command line,
  there are also 2 API's available for writing DLL's and embedding CSS into
  your applications:

  - C API with __stdcall convention for most popular 32 bit compilers
  - C++ class API for IBM VisualAge C++


  1.1  License Information
  ------------------------

  CSS is FREEWARE and you are allowed to use it for any purpose without
  registration.

  Redistribution is allowed on any medium as long as the original files are
  included completely.
