Kennedy) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Products supporting ARexx Summary: Summary Message-ID: <12771@cisunx.UUCP> Date: 26 Sep 88 17:27:05 GMT Reply-To: ejkst@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu (Eric J. Kennedy) Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Sys Lines: 58 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.
