I think we arrived at this idea because someone suggested it would be nice if the open-sourced JIT technology that started this thread could be applied to REXX. Then someone else said we don't really need that, because NetREXX fulfills the desire to have REXX code that can be JITted. But then someone else pointed out that NetREXX can't do all the same kinds of things that REXX can, especially with respect to TSO and ISPF integration. Therefore, as NetREXX can't substitute for REXX, we still have the desire (if, perhaps, not the need) for a true classic REXX that can make use of the JIT technology. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
