NAME
gbx3 - GAMBAS Interpreter

SYNOPSIS
gbx3 [options] [<project directory>] [-- <arguments>]
gbx3 -e <expression>

DESCRIPTION
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...

gbx3 is the interpreter that allows you to execute a Gambas project or evaluate a Gambas expression (-e option).
