A fellow REXX enthusiast, perchance? Or did you see where I had written
an NNTP client for posting my articles in about twenty minutes?
I *really* wish that Demon did understand the power of REXX; it would be
a useful alternative to perl as a CGI language on their Showroom and
other web-hosting offerings.
(It's hard to perceive of a company restricting its customers to a single
server-side scripting language in this day and age, but that's what they
do.)
