Awww... come on.. :') It's a GREAT language!

I started such a project about a year ago and simply put, it was easier for me
to rewrite the classic rexx to netrexx,... :')

However, if your classic rexx is written using procedures for your subroutines
you I would think they should be most easily converted using a rexx->netrexx
converter.

Great! If you need help... kep me in mind.

How about a powerful macroprocessor?

Isn't that Rexx?

Calling Rexx from NetRexx is easy enough.

Actually, the parser in LPEX should be fully accessible and usable without
needing the code.  The internals of LPEX are the same as those of LEXX (which I
wrote) and allow parsers to be used from other macros.

LPEX is available with some (all?) of the Visual Age series of products, some of
which have low cost or free 'entry level' versions, I think.
