Is there a REXX for Linux, other than ooREXX? I've never used those functions in ooREXX on Linux. But I'm not very knowledge about ooREXX, either. I use Perl on Linux. I avoid Windows like the plague ridden corpse that it is. I do agree that writing things to be cross platform compatable is a laudable goal. I'll need to try harder in that arena. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
