Robbins {EUCC}) Organization: Math and Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta GA Lines: 22 Given that many Crays run Unicos, and that KSH will be part of S5R4, so it should migrate to Unicos eventually, I have to wonder if REXX is all that necessary. I can see that on a system like COSMOS or COS, which isn't Unix-based, REXX might be desirable, but I suspect that the percentage of non-Unicos Cray systems is only going to decrease in the future. I just watch the supercomputer world from the outside, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
