-
- The EMX/GCC package is pretty well documented (from a beginner's
- standpoint) in the "emxstart" document, available from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

-
- Well, your Information folder should contain a REXX manual (if you
- asked that it be installed when you installed OS/2; if not, use the
- Selective Install utility in OS/2 System -> System Setup to get it).
- This online document refers to the other IBM publications on REXX.
-
- I also suggest getting ahold of vrexx2.zip, available via anonymous
- ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. This DLL package will let you construct
- your own Presentation Manager/Workplace Shell programs with nothing
- but REXX. (Well done, IBM.)

-
- There are several, and you should consult the IBM TCP/IP announcement
- letter, which should be available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, directory /pub/os2/all/info.
