They (and much more) are available in a downloadable package called 'RexxTutor' here on Outbound and probably on Mindlink. If not, I'm sure your aware that Larry can be cornered on Mindlink (and Compuserve if he's still a staff type there). If you can't find it, then you can grab it from Colin 'Mr. Wings of Fury' Fox at the next SIGGraph meeting here in Vancouver (Just send a request as a reply) --------------------------------------- | patrick_meloy@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | | 'The Outbound' BBS Vancouver BC | ---------------------------------------
