Description:
|
REXX for Unix. A general-purpose programming language
designed by Mike Cowlishaw of IBM UK for readability and
ease of use. Also useful as a control language for Unix
or for applications which make use of REXX's programming
interface (REXX/imc may be compiled as a dynamic C library
for applications to include on some systems). REXX is an
official scripting language of VM/CMS, OS/2 and AmigaDOS.
