Ublu�An extensible object-disoriented interpretive language for midrange and mainframe remote system programming

"Object-disoriented" means that Ublu is a procedural language with function definitions which is implemented on top of object-oriented Java libraries. Ublu manipulates objects constructed in the underlying environment without forcing the user to know very much about the object architecture. By way of analogy, consider how resources in a hierarchical network environment are flattened out for ease of use by LDAP. In a similar fashion, Ublu conceals many details while still providing complete access should a program require it, e.g., via the calljava command.
