Don't forget that ObjectRexx is nearing completion which should be
available on systems ranging from OS/2 to Win95, NT, and Unix (Linux

Just thought I'd throw that out there.  I've had a chance to play with
it a little.  It's sorta like smashing REXX and Smalltalk together into
one.  It's very interesting.
