While perusing Wikipedia I stumbled upon a short page on Oriel, a scripting language bundled with the Windows 3/3.1/NT Power Tools books, and decided to write an interpreter. Oriel is quite a unique language because, despite being similar to basic, its output is entirely graphical, and because it was designed with Windows 3 in mind, it can take input from the menubar, mouse, and keyboard.

Given that this is my first larger rust project I’m sure there are plenty of things to improve, so I’ll gladly accept any and all feedback.

If by some miracle anyone happens to have a copy of Windows NT Power Tools lying around, please get in touch with me. I’d love to add support for the 1994 version of Oriel, but this book has effectively been lost to time.
