Source code for gscriptor
The same script can be used by gscriptor. gscriptor is a graphical version of scriptor.
Output
gscriptor can display the results in ASCII. This is useful in our case since the test APDU just sends the string "Hello world!"
Conclusion
scriptor and gscriptor are easy to use for simple tasks. In general I use them to check the smart card stack is working correctly.
