As a stop-gap, you might want to install regina-rexx . That'll at least give you time to convert your scripts to something else. I've never used REXX, but perusing the syntax on Wikipedia, it looks like you should be able to convert a lot of it to bash "easily" once you've familiarized yourself with the syntax. And since you asked, I like python, but a working knowledge of bash is indispensible. -- Michael A.
