"This is the third release version of the Texx scripting interpreter. This scripting language is an attempt to implement a version of the Rexx interpreter that is commonly used on IBM's VM/CMS mainframe operating system. This version of Texx is far from a full implementation, so don't think that you can copy your CMS execs and run them on your Mac. This is a very minimal implementation, however, it still adds additional functionality to the Mac OS. My plans are to keep updating Texx and hopefully it will mimic the mainframe version very closely."
"The REXX language is one of the simplest languages to learn. It is structured like C and Pascal without the "typing" of either language. Some people use REXX as a macro processor-like tool to automate repetitive tasks. Others use REXX as their application development language. In either case, the language extremely flexible and powerful. A programmer will find REXX very easy to learn and at the same time very powerful. A non-programmer will find REXX very flexible and forgiving with a short learning curve. Regardless of the technical expertise of the user, REXX will satisfy anyone. Even though Texx is not yet a full implementation of REXX, Texx will give a taste of REXX and allow you to sample what REXX is about."
