I'm running various versions of ooRexx in parallel, by simply calling the
appropriate rexx.exe with full path (I've set up doskey macros "rexx4",
"rexx5", "rexx5d" etc. for each). Works for rexx installs and simple
unzipped rexx directories.
There's generally no need to switch rxapi, as it's sufficiently compatible
between 4.2 and the various 5.0 versions. I'm always installing rxapi from
the newest version. Above said is true as long you're using only 32-bit or
only 64-bit Rexx. Switching between 32- and 64- will involve
stopping/uninstalling rxapi and installing the other rxapi, which isn't
that convenient.
