- Well, Eric, I have a little problem with your latest. Suppose I write:
-
- DO I=1^TO 10
-
- where ^ is one of the weird, emm/2*PI to the blank spaces. Is the
- parser supposed to recognize that too? It seems to me that a system which
- treats K as blank because it was written in a country where there is no
- K in the national alphabet should be expected to provide an "export"
- routine to turn its internal files into those the rest of the world can
- use. Many applications have this facility. Then a rexx process is just
-
- export fn | rexx
