Gil, I know you mean well. Your first two points are addressed by one answer: The goal in the test is to compare the efficiency of record-oriented piping versus character-by-character piping. In the first case, bypassing the *nix piping mechanism defeats the goal of the test. In the second

IMHO the most serious problems with REXX are: 1. The behavior of SIGNAL inside a do block or procedure. 2. The similarity to PL/I that leads people to expect PL/I semantics for things that are very different in REXX. FWIW, I don't normally run with NOVALUE active, but that might be best
