#No RUN
Scott,
ARexx may not implement IPC in what you consider the 'right way', but it does
provide IPC for any program, and more so if the programs have an ARexx
interface. It does this now, and does it well. As far as i know, there are no
other packages that can do it that are available now, so for many, it's a
matter of either having ARexx or doing without its IPC facility.
Personally, the farther I can stay away from Lisp, the happier I am, but then
that's simply personal preference.
