- Brian and everybody, just out of curiosity - is there anything
- (technically or legally) that prevents someone from implementing
- REXX under Windows NT? How about the same question for the variant
- of REXX I've been hearing described as "visual REXX"?
-
- (Note that I've never seen *either* variant of REXX in action, but
- that I've seen lots of approving comments about them in the OS/2
- conferences.)
