Marlene, I can see the possibilities of ARexx, in a theoretical way. I hope that ARexx catches on and that people share programs, just as we share our little PD offers. I'm afraid that the $49.95 price will limit its exposure. Let me add that it is an EXTREMELY fair price and that I will probably spring for it when I hear that the shell is finished! But just like Byte-by-byte's InfoMinder, such programs are limited by its limited number of users. Just think what HyperCard for the Macintosh would be if it was sold by a third party for $49.95. There would just be alot less people using and thus generating stackware. I certainly hope that ARexx, ARP, even Jim Mcraz's Commodities Exchange take off and are used by all Amigas. My bet is that ARP has an excellent chance, since it is free. I hope the best for Bill Hawes' ARexx, as well as the rest of us! Happy Holidays Marlene, and I wish you, and all the great and noble SysOps, as well as all of my fellow AmigaForum members a happy, healthy and exciting New Year! Happy Hacking all! -RSL-
