Post #46,840 by jake123 7/25/02 12:42:43 PM Reply	Re: Hello, Toast. Another one that will crush the VB developer is rexx. It's a much cleaner language than VB in both its procedural and OO forms. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca * * [link\|http://consultron.ca \|[link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] ] irc.ecomstation.ca * * Laval Qu\ufffdbec Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] * -------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #47,003 by imric 7/26/02 8:30:44 AM Reply	It used to, anyway Well, low effort, anyway. There was VX-Rexx and VisPro Rexx... I think CA had a visual Rexx product that could create cross-platform programs (Windows/OS2) as well, but maybe I'm confusing them with Watcom. (Gah - I even had a copy of this product. Brainlock) It's been a long time since I've even thought of visual Rexx.. I think the last time I used Rexx at all was for parsing strings on the AS/400... Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Post #47,542 by jake123 7/30/02 10:38:20 PM Reply	Efforts are underfoot to get Sybase to open source vx-rexx So far they seem receptive. Time will tell if it will come about though. I have VisPro... it's quite zero effort. It was a really nice product. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca * * [link\|http://consultron.ca \|[link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] ] irc.ecomstation.ca * * Laval Qu\ufffdbec Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] * -------------------------------------------------------------------
