    Errk...

    I have the one supplied with Watcom 9 & 10, and I cannot locate
    these. I have noted people making reference to them, but when I
    do a search  on that string, it does not find any strings with a
    Prf in them :(

     Those I am familiar with and have used. However, I was
    wanting to convert from a VXREXX program to C instead. I have
    compiled the user interface from Guidelines, the speed
    difference between my VXREXX app and that are light years apart.
    On my 486/66, it takes almost a minute for the VXREXX to
    initialize and come on screen where as the one from guidelines
    just pops right up in about 1-2 seconds. Also, the overhead for
    VXREXX is about 1.2megs of memory, for the screens done in
    guidelines, about 45k.

    Thanks for the help, at least I know I am getting out now 
    Guess I might have to look at interfacing the system REXX calls
    for INI work with it as an option.

    Later!
