Description

VX-REXX is a highly-extensible REXX GUI development system for OS/2 and Microsoft Windows, it contains a core written in a low level language but every thing else is actually written in VX-REXX itself and you can extend the system simply by writing SOM objects for it.

VX-REXX was originally developed by Watcom which was acquired by Powersoft in 1994, and Powersoft merged with Sybase in 1995 who discontinued the product around 1997. And Sybase itself was later bought by SAP. Despite its discontinuation the system remains one of the most popular if not the the most popular development product in day to day use for OS/2 and eComStation systems.
