I have the prerelease LW 4.0 for Intel. I was wondering a few things. what books does anyone recomend for Rexx in model building? I have the book Rexx in 21 days, but it is geared towards OS operations in OS\2. Will Rexx also be available as an animation macro or scripting language? Look at 3D studio from Autodesk as an example. Will the future of LW support Visual Basic for any of these functions, not to replace Rexx, but to take advantage of the nature of VB in Windows (just like ARexx to AmigaDos) and the shear volumn of VB programers out there? Also I have found two companies who make Rexx interperaters for NT. I can post them later this week since I don't have the names on me at this point. But was your version of Rexx an in house writing or did an outside company lisense you there version? Thank you for any answers you post to my questions?
