WinCron is a mature product and is used on tens of thousands desktops and servers all around the world. Since the birth of WinCron in 1995, the scripting model hasn’t really changed all that much. Sure, many function have been added since those early days, as well as sub routines and exceptions. But the general command-line model has persisted.
I had two key objectives when designing WinCron 4.0:
1. Backwards compatibility
2. seamless integration with VBScript
I wanted to make sure all the scripts that currently work would continue to work, and; I wanted a smooth integration with VBScript. I believe I’ve accomplished these objectives.
The VBScript integration is such that you can call VB functions directly from WinCron Script (WCScript), and return values.
VBScript brings three valuable tools to the table:
1. Control flow (If, While, Do, Select, etc..)
2. String processing (Left, Mid, Right, Len, etc..)
3. Very complete library of pre-made scripts.
The first two items above are pretty intuitive, but the third one is only valuable if you know where to find all these pre-made scripts.

There are probably hundreds of scripts and most if not all can be plugged directly into your WinCron scripts.
