[Freedos-user] FDAPM / REXX / QBASIC / POWER questions TO users

2005-03-02 Thread Eric Auer
Hi, some questions TO the users (as opposed to questions FROM users ;-))... - what do you think about adding the SF project Regina-Rexx to FreeDOS? It implements the REXX scripting language which is IBM's PC DOS answer to MS DOS QBASIC, and probably a good one. However, it is quite big, mor
