That's good to hear but this is the first time anyone has told me it's easy
to learn. In fact, quite the opposite. However, once the learning curve
has been overcome, and you can live with the resources it takes up, it's
the best Java tool there is.

I see. So IBM is not interested in small software developers for VAJ
either? We no longer have Warp 4 installed here because IBM pushes NT a lot
more than OS/2 these days.

I hope IBM isn't planning on basing small elegant NetRexx on slow ponderous
Smalltalk. It would be really interesting if they wrote an IDE for NetRexx
in NetRexx or Java though.
