I've always thought that I wouldn't ever need/want/desire AREXX,
but it seems, that something I'm working on needs AREXX.
Are there any PD/Shareware/Freeware versions of AREXX around?
If not, where can I buy a copy?
Another help would be, if anyone knows how to talk to an AREXX port
on a program WITHOUT AREXX?
Either having AREXX or being able to talk to the port myself would
work... (Example: whats the structure I should pass to the port? etc..)
Thanks to anyone who can help :)

It includes a demo on the distribution disk that runs an Execute script. This script has commands like "Hey DigiPaint Pend 47 04", and "Hey DigiPaint Penu 267 96". (This case, it says to move to coordinates (47,04), start a pen-down operation, move to (267,96), pen-up.) "Hey" is a little program that sends a message to the specified program's AREXX port. The source, hey.asm, is included on the disk. It does show how easy it is to control an AREXX compatible program without AREXX. -- Joe Smith (408)922-6220 | SMTP: jms@tardis.tymnet.com or jms@gemini.tymnet.com BT Tymnet Tech Services | UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!tardis!jms PO Box 49019, MS-C41 | BIX: smithjoe | 12 PDP-10s still running!
