I'll fork the repo and then push up my changes on a zos branch and post here. I'm will be turning
issues off!!
I have to say that Regina REXX is quite good compared to z/OS REXX. Of course, it doesn't have the
TSO/ISPF integrations but it does come with a utilities library with extra features such as
copying/sorting stem variables etc. It also ships with a "rxstack" daemon which can be used for
IPC. There are also extensions for associated arrays which can be passed to functions unlike stem
variables. It's 3x faster then z/OS REXX, although that doesn't surprise me! As you mentioned,
it's dirt easy to extend with C so it would be trivial to write a package that supports MVS data
set I/O similar to my pyzfile Python package or sorted sets, algorithms etc.

Very interesting! Also applauding making your Regina port available!
If it is 3x faster then z/OS REXX then one could expect that speed improvement
for ooRexx as well.
