Do the Lattice compiler/debugger have Arexx ports? Yes, the Lattice compiler has an ARexx port. Suprisingly, the Lattice scren editor is not documented as having an ARexx port. The compiler itself does not have an arexx port; I'm not sure what good and arexx port on a non-interactive program could be. The compiler can output error messages to stdout, which can be redirected and parsed by an ARexx script to drive your editor. The lattice editor somehow feeds the compiler a line at a time from the in-memory copy of the program you are editing (if you're brave :-); maybe there is an undocumented ARexx port in LC. -- Darren
