Anybody know of an Arexx user's guide being printed or already out in the Market? I found the reference manual that came with Arexx pretty tough to try to learn from

Depends what you want. If you want to learn REXX, then look for Cowlishaw's
book. If you want to learn how to interface your programs to ARexx (i.e.,
supporting host commands, creating function libraries/hosts) then the
forthcoming "Amiga Programmer's Guide to ARexx" will do the trick. (Don't
ask me when it will be out, I don't know.)

Same caveat as above, DON'T ASK WHEN IT WILL BE OUT, it may never will but the thought is what counts. :) [This is not VAPORWARE, but VAPOROOK!!!] (End of birthday candle, Oops, little flame) Victor J.

I handed the final copy in two weeks ago. It's now up to the publishers to get it out. I would guess 3 to 4 months, but don't take that as any kind of official announcement. -- Eric Giguere giguere@csg.UWaterloo.CA Unlike the cleaning lady, I have to do Windows.
