JM>It's a pretty nice visual rexx, from IBM available from the Employee Written

  Ah yes, I think I have seen that one, but have not played with it.

JM> DG> You mean VXREXX maybe. It requires VROBJ.DLL for a runtime.

JM>This I knew... and I won't be buying it...

    I bought it before the Vispro was out. Still use it for
    debugging. But I don't do anything with it anymore software wise
    that I release. I've gotten Watcom C, VA C++ and have started
    trying to learn that instead. Just use REXX for the quick and
    dirty around here. Much easier than C

JM>Hmmm... OS2REXX isn't available to me... Oh well...

    Nope, but he hangs out here sometime as well as the OS2
    conference.
