You missed the best REXX, Dennis.
ARexx for the amiga's. Bill Hawes wrote in a link to everything amigados
had and we wrote, in ARexx, stuff that Amigados didn't have starting
with a cron, a better cron than Paul Vixies. Worst, Bill never got a
dime from commode-door for the best language it had, We served our WDTV
web page with it in the middle 90's. Using ARexx and early php. Now its
farmed out and 99% commercial junk.
