Visual Age for NetRexx

As Chip Davis mentioned a VA for NetRexx earlier this year and I've
seen how easy it is, to work with VA for Java, I thought, I'm going
to ask IBM about the status of VA for NetRexx.
And indeed they do have a prototype, but have not made a product
until now. They're still trying to find out if it's worth the effort.
(No question IMHO :))

If you're interested in Visual Age for NetRexx, or just want to help
IBM for their evaluation, you may contact John Swainson from Software
Solution Division ([hidden email]).

I almost fell from the chair.. Do they also keep classified a cure for
cancer? No wait, I'm interested in VisualAge NetRexx first!

If there are people that are too lazy to fill in a request to the person
keeping the prototype, please hand me your e-mail address and I'll
organize a petition to show that interest is high in the thing.

Of course the better thing to do is to fire off an original e-mail, but if
you wouldn't have done it anyway, please contact me at the
[hidden email] address and I'll add your name to my e-mail(s).

PS: I asked for NetRexx related stuff to the VisualAge people in
Orlando this May, but they didn't tell me anything.. Scoundrels! :-)

I'll go along with this also. If you're too busy, tired or just brain dead, let
either Max of Me know this for a fact and we'll be happy to send an email for
you...

I knew that this was more than just a dream. I heard a few rumors here and there
and JUST like you... It was never actually "talked about" ... <G>
