As you may or may not know, I maintain a Frequently Asked Questions list
for REXX that I post every once in a while to comp.lang.rexx and other
appropriate groups. (The current FAQ can be FTPd from rexx.uwaterloo.ca
as /pub/rexxfaq.) I am now also starting to collect information on
OS/2 applications that support REXX. A similar list is maintained
regularly for ARexx. As with the REXX FAQ, I will post the list regularly
to appropriate newsgroups, which may or may not include comp.lang.rexx
but will certainly include comp.os.os2.programmer.
To do this I need your help, but you really don't have to do much: just
send me some email describing any applications that you know of under OS/2
that use REXX. You might also mention to me HOW it uses REXX, as in:
1) Can only spawn REXX macros
2) Includes a subcommand interface (i.e., you can send the application
commands using ADDRESS)
3) Defines new external functions
If the application is freeware, please tell me where you got it as I
may wish to keep a copy on my FTP site.
Hopefully this list will help people (users and developers) clue in
to the usefulness of REXX as a standard macro language for OS/2.

So is Windows NT short for "Windows, NOT?"
