#Rexx
wayne –
sorry, but I have no emotional attatchment to VB at all, and in fact did
understand the jist of your argument as to why it is the way to go – I'm not
even attempting to enter into that argument because, as you say I'm no
programmer.
All I was trying to say was why implement it if it is not supported by the OS
You seem to have knowledge that this is not in fact the case and that winNT is
indeed capable of supporting REXX commands, in which case it doesn't matter,
but I have yet to hear of any readily available method of achieving this.
also REXX may be fine for people who are heavily into programming but lesser
mortals like myself might actually PREFER a lesser system like VB which is at
least familiar (as Douglas has pointed out) and does what I am primarily
interested in – writing basic plugins for LW – anyway wouldn't it be good if we
had a choice?
One of the great things about AREXX on the amiga is how accessable and widely
implemented it is – the same cannot be said for REXX
