And here it is: The next version of RXT&T.
---------- * ----------
In this version I've added some additional information about EAs (see Extended
Attribute Data Types, EAs
used by the WPS and Maintain
Multi value EAs in REXX).
Another new section you might find interesting is REXX
Wrapper for text-mode programs. This is a sample REXX program to call
another program, filtering it's input and output using only standard REXX
features (pipes and queues).
I've also changed the policy for software mentioned in the Software
section:
Beginning with this version I include selected shareware also. To distinguish
between free software and shareware the section titles for shareware programs
are marked with a trailing dollar sign ($)

One of the most useful tools for OS/2 I've found so far is LX lite -- a compressor for OS/2 executables. LXLite can compress mostly every OS/2 executable and thus is a very useful tool for creating emergency diskettes or CID boot diskettes. I strongly suggest you take a look at it!

My request for comments about adding advertising to RXT&T in the last version of RXT&T was not very successful. So I'll move this topic to a future release of RXT&T.
