BREXX is an open source lightweight multi-platform REXX interpreter, as it is not as powerful in general as alternatives such as Regina REXX it is most popular on systems such as DOS, Pocket PC/WinCE and other vintage or embedded systems that have memory or processing speed constraints. But BREXX is notably lighter and faster than other open source alternatives and only some commercial REXX implementations for embedded systems use better it in that respect.
