* Meeting Details *

We will have introduction to REXX, a batch file programming language
that OS/2 uses extensively. REXX is also availble for IBM's AIX,
OS/390; Micrsoft's Windows 9x/NT and there is a version for Linux. 
There are a few other versions out there as well, like IBM's CICS.

Rexx is a mature language. This past March of 1999, REXX celebrated
its 20th birthday.

From:http://www.mindspring.com/~dave_martin/w hat_is_rexx_.html

"REXX is a programming language designed by Michael Cowlishaw of IBM
UK Laboratories. In his own words: "REXX is a procedural language 
that allows programs and algorithms to be ritten in a clear and
structured way." REXX doesn't look that different from any other 
procedural language."

If you would like to give yourself a quick primer before our formal
(using the term loosely) presentation, here are a few web sites...
+ REXX Lanuage Association - 
  http://www.rexxla.org 
+ IBM's REXX Page - 
  http://www.ibm.com/rexx  
+ Dave Martin's REXX FAX Site - 
  http://www.mindspring.com/~dave_martin/RexxFAQ.html 

All three sites have a lots of useful information.
