Description:	REXX for Unix. A general-purpose programming language designed by Mike Cowlishaw of IBM UK for readability and ease of use. Also useful as a control language for Unix or for applications which make use of REXX's programming interface (REXX/imc may be compiled as a dynamic C library for applications to include on some systems). REXX is an official scripting language of VM/CMS, OS/2 and AmigaDOS.
Conformance:	REXX language level 4.00 (more or less), with some small extensions. The C programming interface is a subset of the SAA interface exhibited by OS/2 REXX.
Reference:	"The REXX Language" 2nd edition, by M.F. Cowlishaw; Prentice-Hall 1990.
Ports:	SunOS, AIX 3.2
Portability:	Requires Unix-domain sockets (restriction may be relaxed in the future). Dynamic link function dlopen() is useful but not essential.
Status:	Under slow development. Contact author for help/support.
