BQ>Does anyone know of a freeware or shareware REXX compiler for OS/2? 

Hi Bob--

    AFAIK, there are no REXX compilers for OS/2, or for anything else
other than a mainframe.  Even that one is not a real compiler, it is
more like a p-code builder.

    REXX was designed from scratch to be an interpreted language.

    The EXE files built by some of the "visual" REXX program builders
contain the vendor's run-time DLL and the REXX code that will be
interpreted on execution.  Those "compilers" don't compile anything.

    If you get a post from David Noon contradicting this, believe him!
