Would someone explain what B2H is, and where it can be retrieved? Might make a good link for you-know-where.

Switched to Object REXX, it worked perfectly. B2H is a great piece of software, and Gary Richtmeyer put a lot of effort into getting it to work correctly on a wide variety of platforms. In order to do that, B2H discovers what system it's running on and tries to guess which Rexx implementation is in use, and adapts accordingly. That *shouldn't* be necessary (well, not the *implementation* adaptation anyway), but there are some odd variants out there. I'm actually quite impressed with Regina - it has a strong focus on compliance and compatibility, and allows you to specify which other implementation to be compatible with (via an OPTIONS statement). I can't point to any faults, but I haven't run anything as large as B2H (it's huge). Ross Patterson
