Rexx

If you are here because you are curious about Rexx and want to know something about it, please visit my page of introductory information about Rexx. More in-depth documentation and of course an interpreter which you can run on a Unix system can be found within REXX/imc below. Otherwise, you might like to peruse some of the following links.

News

• Finally, the RPM files for THE and XCurses have been updated to versions 3.1 and 2.5 respectively on the Rexx/imc page.
• Rexx/imc 1.76 fixes one or two more bugs that weren't fixed in 1.75. RPMs for Red Hat 5, 6 and 7 and binary packages for Solaris have been compiled.

REXX/imc

Other applications

• Regina - another Rexx interpreter for Unix and several other operating systems including Windows 95/98/NT, originally by Anders Christensen but now being maintained by Mark Hessling.
• IBM Object Rexx - currently available free for Linux and AIX (beta); also available for Windows.
• THE - a REXX-aware editor by Mark Hessling, modelled after IBM XEDIT and Mansfield KEDIT. Linux RPMs for THE built with REXX/imc are available from the REXX/imc page (see above).
• The Rexx/Tk cross-platform GUI toolkit by the late Roger O'Connor, now being maintained by Mark Hessling.
• Patrick McPhee's RegUtil - an emulation of OS/2's REXXUTIL functions for Regina under NT and Unix. This is work in progress but already has some useful functionality. It works with REXX/imc also (and as of version 1.0.5 you no longer need to quote the functions in lower case in order to use them).
