FT>anybody knows how to interface a C or Pascal Program with REXX ?

Hi Francois--

    The best printed source of how to interface REXX with other
languages is the IBM manual "Procedures Language 2/ REXX Reference" (IBM
p/n 10G6268).  In the US, the price is $15, directly from IBM PCT BOOKS.
Where you are, I haven't the slightest idea how much it costs, or how to
get it.  You might try your nearest IBM sales office (good luck).

    If you can stand on-line manuals, the REXXAPI.INF file that comes
with the IBM Developers Toolkit has much of the same material.  The
easiest place to find it is in DevCon if you don't already have it.

    The information in those sources deals mainly with interfacing to C.
I have never written a Pascal program, so do not know how hard it would
be to work with that language.  I do know that If you want to write REXX
"external functions" in another language, your other language has to be
capable of compiling to an OS/2 DLL.

    Hope this helps.
