Um..  Not exactly...  Hope you don't mind the update, Barbara.  ;-)
uni-REXX and uni-XEDIT are both products of DYNASOFT.  I once knew the
relationship between DYNASOFT and The Workstation Group, but must 'fess
memory loss (in this respect).  I think DYNASOFT is the parent company,
but don't know for sure (hey, I don't get a cent for this!)  :-(  ;-)

uni-REXX does NOT come with uni-XEDIT, but can of course be ordered too.
Advisable, of course (though there are a couple of freeware/PD/copy-
lefted REXX interpreters for Unix available).  For more on this you'd want
to post to <UREXX-L@Liverpool.ac.uk>; that list includes XEDIT implemen-
tations in its "charter".

uni-XEDIT is quite complete, and implements CMS-XEDIT very nicely on Unix.
Any CMS person who wants to get used to Unix with a few well-known tools at
their fingertips is well-advised to push for uni-XEDIT and uni-REXX.
(And uni-SPF...)

There is a cheaper (not much) XEDIT for unix available from the U. of
Waterloo.  Last I heard (a year ago), it worked only on Suns and AIX.
uni-XEDIT (all of The Workstation Group's prods from CMS) have been
ported to many different (non-)unix platforms.
You might also want to email to Ed Spire <ets@wrkgrp.com>.

Regards.
