Agena is an easy-to-learn procedural programming language suited for everyday usage. It has been implemented as an interpreter and can be used in scientific, educational, linguistic, and many other applications. Its syntax looks like very simplified Algol 68 with elements taken from Lua and SQL.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Available both as 7 ZIP and WarpIN package:

download the 7 ZIP package to temporary directory and unpack it to destination folder;
the WarpIN package is self-installing.

See below for download link(s).

Following is a list of prerequisites that you have to manually install in order to have the program working:

You can install the prerequisites with rpm running the following string in a command line:

yum install libc libcx libgcc1 libssp libstdc++6 libstdc++ libsupc++6 libsupc++ libgcc-fwd readline ncurses

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

What's new

agena >> `The Power of Procedural Programming` What are the Changes ? ---------------------- 2.11.5, April 02, 2018 - The binio package now supports methamethods. The metatable used by the package is called `BINIOFILE*`. Check the end of Chapter 6.19 on how to add new methods. - `binio.readindex` and `binio.writeindex` read and write binary data with a given index and an optional offset allowing for a user defined header. - `binio.readnumber` and `binio.readlong` can now be passed an optional file offset. - `binio.readlong`, `binio.readnumber`, `binio.readstring` and `binio.readshortstring` now work like `binio.readchar`: if the end of file has been reached, they all return `null` and no longer issue an error. - `binio.readshortstring` caused segmentation faults. This has been fixed. - `binio.writeshortstring` and `binio.writestring` have been tuned. - In Windows, `os.drivestat` now returns the `trim` flag that indicates a solid-state disk (with a high probability). - The formerly undocumented function `reverse` has now been described. The function reverses all elements in a sequence or register in-place. - In the UNIX versions, the `gzip` package uses zlib-1.2.11. - This release has been Valgrind-checked on x86 Linux and Mac OS X to ensure there are no memory leaks.

Hello,

Hello, if I would add the readline and ncurses DLLs to my WarpIN installer, would it a yum installation of these libraries be unnecessary ? Yours, Alex
