NAME
       gbs3 - GAMBAS Scripter


SYNOPSIS
       gbs3 [options] [--] [<script file> | -]
       gbs3 --convert-project <source project directory> <destination script
       directory>


DESCRIPTION
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...

       gbs3 is the interpreter that allows you to compile and execute a Gambas
       script.
       gbs3 may also be used to convert a gambas project to a script

PROJECT CONVERSION
       gbs3 can convert a gambas project to an executable script file using

       written to the output script directory.
