Re:Autoit is a better solution

It is my understanding that the reason that the source code for autoIT is not opensource is because the maker of AutoHotkey would use code from autoIT and then proceed to post on the AutoIT list on how AutoHotkey is so much superior. This was very disrespectful and the original developer decided to make the source code only available to select developers who would contribute back. Much of AutoHotkey's code is taken directly from autoIT when it was open source. If you want to see how similar they are download AutoIT version 2 and look at the syntax.

AutoIT v3 is a significant improvement in syntax and functionality. This is a definite scripting language to learn for all windows users. The support you receive from the forum is beyond what you see from many other projects. You can find autoIT here
