Context

MEGA Exchange is a powerful tool to allow capabilities to be added to MEGA, and to allow the integration of MEGA with other applications. MEGA Exchange can be used in combination with Microsoft Visual Basic, which needs to be purchased separately, or can be used inside MEGA through Visual Basic Scripting. Applications written to use MEGA Exchange can exist either separate from, or within, MEGA. When the application exists within MEGA, a link to the application can be placed on any user's Desktop just like a document or web-site.
