Description from the author:

"RXRUN was designed to support complex remote install processing requirements that run other programs or install programs for software products and then returns to continue processing. This project was prompted by questions received at IBM Boca Raton FL customer support from large enterprise customers doing in-house application development and doing large scale migration projects.

RxRun is a REXX external function written in REXX with an external function .DLL written in C that lets you run programs from within a REXX program and wait on their termination. The invoked program can be any type of session window and any type of mode (OS/2, DOS, and WINOS2)."
