Unfortunately, they blew the reference.  They referred to it as Public
Domain (EGAD!!!).  [For the record, AmigaTeX is sold by Radical Eye
Software and is NOT PD -- but most of us knew that, right?]

As far as supporting ARexx, I've heard that ASDG's LaserScan software
will support ARexx, as will a future version of Professional Page (so
that you can easily put your scanned, hi-res color pics into a DTP package)

Also, although they didn't mention it in the ARexx article, they
mentioned CygnusEd Professional [ASDG-published] later on.  It supports ARexx
and has become my editor of choice (not to start religious editor wars --
I just want to mention that ARexx-compatible editors, as far as I know,
are now TxEd Plus, CygnusEd Pro, and a version of mg1b modified by Tom 
Rockicki}.
