It's always unpleasant to receive an ad-homenim attack on a Sunday morning.
I can't speak for the developers as a whole, but I for one am satisfied that hostemu works as designed and documented. It is a novelty that allows you to a limited extent to emulate some aspects of the CMS environment. Even if it was the case that it did not work (and I believe it does), I would not personally prioritise it's repair. There was a generation of ooRexx developers who grew up with green-screens and one of them provided the hostemu environment, as far as I can see to satisfy a nostalgia amongst Rexx programmers for a supposedly halcyon period now more than a third of a century gone. The Rexx community wore out those developers, and in the main part they have moved on - certainly David who wrote hostemu no longer sees this list. I would rather the new generation of developers were allowed to concentrate on the core issues. Jon On 6 September 2015 at 00:04, J.
