A couple of weeks ago I requested people to send me mail about various
programs that use ARexx.  As promised, here is a brief sumamry of these
software packages.  This includes replies I got through email, and also
a few notes I pulled off the net.  (Grouped by function, but otherwise
in no particular order.)

Note that I only have personal experience with a couple of these.  The
rest are simply reporting what I have been told by others.  The presence
of a "??" means that I am not sure of the information, but anything here
is subject to mistakes.

Also note that some software is marked "Freeware".  I realize there is
disagreement over the exact meaning of this word--here it generally
means "Copyrighted, but with no active request or requirement for
payment for registration."

Also note that I have no affiliation with William Hawes or the
authors/marketers/distributers of any of these software packages, with
the exception of Uedit, and that's a pretty minor affiliation.
