There is |>also a compiler for CMS. The Commodore Amiga has an excellent version called ARexx. It was so useful that Commodore decided to integrate it directly into the next release of the operating system. This is a big win due to the multi-tasking message-passing structure of the o/s, so ARexx is a real natural way to make that stuff available in a command language. |Does anyone know of a version for UNIX? As far as I know the author of ARexx is working on a UNIX version for Amix, the System V r4.0 port to the Amiga 2500 (nice system - 25MHz 68030 + 68882. The UNIX port is in alpha test already)...
