This section contains the main sources for REXX software and literature I know about.

Note that I removed the information about BBSe in Version 3.20 of RXT&T.

Note: Note that there's an INF file called IBM's Worldwide Electronic Resource Guide available which contains a lot of information about sources for (not only) OS/2 software and information. This file is available on every good site with OS/2 software, the filename is IBMWW.* . There's also an online version of this information available (see Internet - Web Pages).

Internet

Nowadays the Internet is the source for REXX software and information regarding REXX.

Note: A description about some interesting locations on the Internet can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions About REXX
