Foreword for Version 2.20

And here it is: The next version of RXT&T.

---------- * ----------

This version has only a few enhancements. One section you might look at is the section about the DETACH command because I finally found a solution to capture the output of the DETACH command (see Detach a program & capture the PID).

Some News from the 7th REXX Symposium helt in Austin from May 13th to 15th - The official report should be available in the near future at the REXX homepage (see Internet - Web Pages).

Object REXX for OS/2 is now GA. Also, the Windows 95 and Windows NT version of Object REXX are available for evaluation (see Internet - Web Pages).

There's now an ANSI Standard for REXX - see REXX ANSI Standard.

Mike Cowlishaw (see EMail Addresses) has developed a new REXX dialect called NetRexx. NetRexx compiles to Java Bytecode. It's a much simpler way to create Java Applets than doing it in Java.
