- ...(deletion)
- Currently there are two freely-distributable interpreters (with
- source) for Unix machines, both available for anonymous FTP from
- rexx.uwaterloo.ca:
-
-
- /pub/freerexx/andersrexx/rexx-0.02a.tar.Z 173500 straight C
- files originally from flipper.pvv.unit.no
-
- /pub/freerexx/alrexx/rx102.tar.Z 671904 C++ (using GNU G++)
- files originally from tony.cat.syr.edu
-
- To compile, both interpreters require Lex and Yacc (or suitable clones).
- Both are still beta versions.
