Hello David,
I just tested HOSTEMU on AIX - only a very quick test (EXECIO read
function).
Compared to linein() this thing is extremely fast (300.000 lines in 8s)....

Do you plan to put this in ooRexx 4.0.n (n > 0) ??
Do you already have a version for Windows (my colleague would love this).

Bye
  Rainer
