| Hi all!
|
| I have just joined this group and caught up on the last 300+ messages!
| A great lot of chatter here, I like it! Some nice tips too, thanx folks!
|
|
| aRexx or ARexx or Rexx:
|
| There is one fundamental requirement for [A]Rexx that folks seem to be
| overlooking here and that is a multitasking enviroment.
|
| PC's can't do it [reffering to generic PC's], OS/2 has Rexx as it is now
| 'tasking rather efficiently.
Of course "PC's" can do it. They may not be able to do it under MS-DOS,
but there is no intrinsic hardware limitation of the "PC" that prevents
it from multitasking.
| By deffinition, an Iterproccess Communication Language. You need to have more
| than one program running at once and have them tal to each other via a third.
| [A]Rexx itself needs to be running as well.
Well, you could have one process on one machine talk via a hardware
connection to a process on another machine using (A)REXX.
