In article <4131@cbmvax.UUCP>, daveh@cbmvax.UUCP (Dave Haynie) points
out the main advantage of ARexx. Another point is that unlike other
inter-process-communication specs, you can get your hands on the public
data via the 'Clip List'. If the applications interface to ARexx 'correctly'
one would be able to integrate any set of applications. Unfortunately, the
milliunum isn't here yet. No application (capable of truly interactive
use, AmigaTeX doesn't count) I know of will communicate asynchronously with
ARexx. This is difficult but not impossible. At the least, I would like an
editor and a terminal emulator which do this. Any body know of such beasts.
(I have an order for TxEd Plus, but my dealer says that he has outstanding
backorders from last Nov. !?)
