OK, but you replied to my experience of porting Rexx from
CMS to OS/2.
So, is there an EXECIO for Linux ? ;-)
(I accidentally replied directly to the Usenet
newsgroup. This repost is for all of you who read via
e-mail. Sorry for the duplication for the others.)
If you're not limited to ooREXX, Regina runs on
Linux. There
is an add-on package (also ported to Linux, I think) called
Regutil. Regutil has a functions similar to EXECIO called
RegStemRead and RegStemWrite.
7.9 RegStemRead
RegStemRead(filename, stem)
RegStemRead reads the contents of file filename into stem stem
using the numeric index convention (number of lines in the 0
element, data in numbered elements starting at 1). When possible,
it uses memory-mapped I/O to read the values, which should be the
most efficient method possible. As a result, RegStemRead is
expected to be measurably faster than, eg, using linein, as well
as being more convenient.

Google for Regutil. It is written by Patrick TJ
McPhee, and
that should help your Googling.
