ARexx implementation is in because it is already part of the core code. The source code for LW is being kept as identical as possible on all platforms, and ARexx was already in the core as part of the Amiga implementation which is the parent of all the versions. Since ARexx is on the Amiga as standard, and Rexx is available one way or another on the other platforms to which the core code in being ported, there is no reason to remove it, and every reason to leave it available for users to be able to share ARexx scripts from platform to platform. The program control that ARexx allows is something different what plug-ins are. A review of the structure for plug-in architecture might tell whether a compiled VBasic program might not work just as well as a compiled C program as a plugin. I can check on it with the Big Brains here and see what I find out. At any rate, nobody stuck the tree there yesterday. The tree has been there for a good long time, we just decided not to uproot it, considering it might be useful right where it is. It's an orange tree. We've added this apple tree over here. I know one way to pick apples that works (C), but I'll have to find out if there are other ways to pick apples. The yard is more than big enough for two trees, so if you don't like oranges, just work on the apple tree. If you want pears, maybe we can plant a pear tree too, there's still room. No need to bulldoze one of the others, and I'm not sure why it is that people go for that 'dozer so quick all the time anyway. "Either/Or" really does not apply to every situation. Chuck.
