File Format
Name MASH
Ontology
Extension(s) .msh, .mas
Released Late 1990s

MASH (Microsoft Agent Scripting Helper) is a program, written by Gordon Scott Bell[1] to create animated presentations using Microsoft Agent characters. These can be exported to EXE files, or esoteric forms that can be embedded in email signatures etc.[2]; in any case, the recipient must have Microsoft Agent installed and configured on their computer. MASH was originally paid software[3], but, as a result of Microsoft Agent being discontinued in 2003, development stopped, and MASH was made free, ca. 2008[4].

Contents

Extensions

MASH scripts use the extension ".msh". The software also lists ".mas" as an extension in the dialog for opening scripts, in which case it is treated identically to a .msh file, but this is not an option in the save dialogue.[5]
