REXX isn't dead

I, too, use REXX daily, as I run OS/2 systems here in the house. REXX unfortunately, IMHO, lacks any good hooks in any other OS other than OS/2. I've tried using REXX in BeOS with some success, but not as much as I do in OS/2. Probably why most of the interpreters you find around haven't gone further than an initial port.

Is rexx dead?

I have been trying to find a rexx interpreter. I have tried IBM, reginald, r4, and personal rexx. I couldn't get any of them to work. I couldn't even find the executable of regina. I worked as a mainframe systems programmer for 15 years, and if I can't find a rexx interpreter, then I don't see how this rexx business is ever going to go anywhere. I don't expect any reply unless you want to differentiate yourself from IBM.
