Roy, the Atari 800 was my first computer – still have it too – it will
always be special to me. We had many REXX programs at my last job but time
didn't permit me to have a chance to write any. The only real exposure I
had was looking through some of the code of pgms that I used. So basically
ARexx is new stuff to me – but it's such a powerful macro language and
really fun to use that I can't resist trying different things with it.
Bills hopes are that ARexx will catch on and that developers will start
using it, if it becomes a standard it will be a great boon to the Amiga
community – sort of like IFF is.
