Will,
Well, it is currently a general solution to a lot of things, and at least a
partial solution to IPC. I say partial, because not all programs that could
benefit from ARexx IPC have ARexx ports.
I use CEDpro a lot, and have quite a few scripts that I can run from it to do
a variety of operations. My main use is for reading Usenet mail and articles,
replying to them, archiving them, and so on. With a few relatively simple
scripts, I can easily do thse things, invoking both ARexx scripts and other
programs that have no idea they were invoked by ARexx.
When 1.4 comes out, I expect ARexx to end up being THE solution to IPC, since
it will be part of the software bundled with the Amiga.
