However, I know of at least one software developer working on a REXX (or AREXX dialect) type product for UNIX. Also, IBM seems to be working on REXX to add features that Bill did to AREXX for their SAA. > >----- >John Ellson ellson@ontap.stsusa.com 602-395-5281 >Siemens Transmission Systems, 8620 N 22nd Ave, Phoenix AZ 85021 > /// >"Are you insinuating that my brain consists /// If my employers had my >of, at bottom, just a bunch of ants running \\\/// opinions then they wouldn't >around?"

< However, I know of at least one software developer < working on a REXX (or AREXX dialect) type product for UNIX. This is besides Bill? Who is it? I have heard rumors of several developers for a UNIX REXX. It sounds like it's going to be a crowded market, which is of course great for the consumer. < Also, IBM seems < to be working on REXX to add features that Bill did to AREXX for their SAA. Which features were you referring to? Did you make this statement based on the IBM SAA REXX that is included as part of Extended Edition or based on some other yet-to-be-released product?
