Wayne, I my last post i did not say get rid of Rexx. I want Visual Basic for 7 reasons. 1 IT exists on NT. 2 As Arexx is a standard on th Amiga VB is the standard on the PC 3 There are more VB developers then there are Rexx developers 4 VB will be updated and improved faster than Rexx could ever hope to be 5 VB has more plug-ins to its architecture then Rexx could ever hope to have (VBXs) 6 Because if NewTek dosn't take advantage of it, others will, and the others will benefit from it. 7 I would not force you to use VB in Amiga( if it existed);) I have a semi counter point to my first point. Rexx can be found for NT. But don't try looking for it in any store, nor are we sure if they are completly compatable with Rexx in Lightwave. Regina Rexx from Ataman will be available in future development kits for NT, but in the mean time VB is still the standard for Rapid development on the PC bar-none. So Wayne why are you so resistant to VB…… 😉 I wouldn't call you irrational 🙁 P.S. I enjoy your articles in Lightwave Pro.
