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).
