    XLNT supports both the Intel and Alpha platform and come in four different editions.

    The Professional Edition is intended for the Administrative or Application Development scriptwriter to provide a faster, easier method for script creation. The Professional Edition is the only XLNT version that contains an Interactive Development Environment and Debugging facilities. The Professional Edition also provides new capabilities to encode client-side scripts into executable images. This capability addresses both script security considerations as well as script procedure sensitivity.
    The Run-Time License Edition is intended for cost-effective deployment of XLNT technology across your Enterprise. This product edition offers the user the ability to deploy client-side encoded scripts across an unlimited number of Windows NT and Windows 95 systems within your organization. The Run-Time License Edition is a companion product of the XLNT Professional Edition as only the scripts produced by the Professional can be executed.
    The Standard Edition (with or without BQMS) of XLNT provides the Enterprise Scripting and Command Language facilities that Administrators and Application Developers have come to count on to perform their tasks.
