A script is a program written in a language that doesn't have to be
precompiled into machine-code before it can be used. They are usually

that developnment is usually much faster.

In this case it's a web script (one designed to be run via a browser)
and it's at http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/uncgi/ctan
