So, why and how do I support ARexx? The "Why?" has been answered elsewhere and that is not what this article is about. Let it suffice that you should support ARexx within your application. It is a standard that Commodore is pushing and we hope that all new applications will have ARexx support. As to the "How?", that is what this article is about. We understand that your existing software may not currently support ARexx and that some of you may never even have looked at what is needed to support ARexx. New applications can be designed with ARexx support in mind and, with the advent of the AppShell by David Junod, the work involved to support ARexx is nothing more than what is needed to support the features within you application. However, existing code may not move into the AppShell to easily and you may wish to do a minor upgrade to your application to support ARexx. SimpleRexx is a set of routines that handle the low-level ARexx work for you in such a way as to have your application work with or without ARexx on the target system. The goal of SimpleRexx is to make adding at least the minimum level of ARexx support to an application a trivial task. -- Mail submissions (sources or binaries) to .
