It looks like ARexx is really taking off!  Practically every
vendor I talked to at AmiEXPO is planning an ARexx port in their
product, has one in beta, or has one that is released.  Two
noteworthy examples are CygnusED from ASDG and MicroFiche
Filer Plus from Software Visions.

CygnusED has turned out even better than I dared hope; I can
actually make it into an Emacs, and it's amazingly powerful.
I'll give more information as I integrate it into my environment.
Give this product a look.

MicroFiche Filer Plus has a very nice ARexx interface, the
nicest I've seen to date (far superior to my interface in
AmigaTeX.)

Now I need to get a copy of Zing! Spell, which reputably also
has an ARexx port, and see how well it works . . .

If you've ignored ARexx in the past, give it a look.  At $50,
it is the *best* deal in Amiga software, bar none.
