[comp.sys.amiga] Arexx - Modern programming using REXX. USEFUL?

duncan@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Shan D Duncan) (03/14/89)

After reading the comments about  Cowlishaw's book:

A practical approach to programming the Rexx language,
(I agree the arexx manual provides all of the necessary
information and Cowlishaw's book is for the most part
unnecessary).

I was wondering how useful another IBM VM/CMS type book
would be:

Modern Programming using REXX by Robert O'Hara and David Gormberg

Printice-Hall  Title code 597310  ~$25.


The little blurb about the book states as the rexx language spreads to
ibm pcs every user will want to use rexx to replace basic.
