Introduction

MaxRexx is actually similar to the Assembler, C, E and AMOS Doorpacks in that it provides you with a way of writing doors for Maxs BBS. MAXREXX allows you to write doors for Maxs BBS in AREXX, which is as far as I know the first of its kind for Maxs BBS. A lot of people do program in AREXX and nothing else, and AMOS doors aren't exactly system friendly. MaxRexx may even be a benefit to those who can already program in the more complex languages such as Asm, C and E for its simplicity, you can literally knock up doors in seconds. It provides some other functions that you can't implement in doors in other languages with ease, for example you can execute a MAXREXX door from within another MAXREXX door. You can control other system programs that have AREXX ports, from within a MAXREXX door. It also makes it very easy to have doors communicating with each other over a multiline system making internode chat doors easy.
