Configurability Features

64-bit Macro language support

CRiSP now supports 64-bit macro language based on a C-like syntax – you can customize and create your own macros. Everything in CRiSP is written in the macro language – it fasts and featuresome, including support for integers, floating point numbers, strings, lists and arrays. The macro language supports object-hiding mechanisms to help build large macros, and full control of the GUI, including drawing.

Examples of advanced features added to CRiSP using macros include a Paint Brush bitmap editor, Sybase database browser, WWW spider utility.

The macro language now supports 64 bit integers, which increases the numeric range available for macros. Although most macros do not rely on this, on operating systems that support files greater than 2GB, this means that the sizes of files can be manipulated correctly without numeric wraparound occurring.

The macro language has been extended to include support for arrays to provide fast random access to collections of data objects.
