CIEX (Command Interface Executive) is a
interpreted VHLL that was popular in the days of
MS-DOS.
"CIEX has been extended to work as an SNMP network manager, GPIB instrument controller, and the front end for various graphic libraries. Using CIEX in this manner may well achieve the
highest productivity possible from any programming system."
-- a slightly short-sighted quote from the
README file distributed with CIEX.
