Hello,
I am interested in working with REXX on PC, may be even if it involves working with DOS. Does anyone know about any site where I could download the REXX utility/interpreter for PC and then can implement it on the mainframe later.
Cheers

if You have performance constraits REXX is not the best language to use
I prefer functionality to speed
