It is a port-manager as well as a script-oriented programming language.
Actually, I've taken to doing all my programming in it rather than in C,
but it is substantially slower than C, being interpreted.  I certainly
couldn't sell my ARexx software, but it takes a lot less time to develop,
and I'm a professional C developer, having used the language for 8 years
now . . .

$49.95 or so.  Ask if he still has a deal for ARexx+WShell; WShell is
a nice shell that works well with ARexx.  It is less of an improvement
of Commodore software now that Newshell is out, though.
