Well it did i quick port to see what kind of compatablity there would be,
but i ran into a few problems, (mostly coming from the fact that i have
never used regina or arexx much before).
Partick, have you used regina before ?,.. can you make any sense of the
following....
Amiga 1.0:/Regina-2.0$ ./rexx.00 /demo/newstr.rexx
Error 3 running "/demo/newstr.rexx": Failure during initialization
Error 3.1: Failure during initialization: Program is unreadable
I might have just broken it during the port, but the code seems ok,
i dont have any pure rexx scripts (or the ability to write any), to
test this further (some single liners would be good).
If you want this exe to play with mail me privatly and i will send it
over, (200k).
regards,
