Rings - Multiple Lua States
(http://www.keplerproject.org/rings/)

Overview

Rings is a library which provides a way to create new Lua states from within Lua.
It also offers a simple way to communicate between the creator (master) and the created (slave) states.

Rings is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.

Rings can be downloaded in source code from its LuaForge page. If you are using LuaBinaries, a Windows precompiled version of Rings can also be found at the same LuaForge page:
