VX-REXX Object Development Kit
An add on package for VX-REXX that is delivered in the form of C library and associated headers etc., that allows you to build dynamic link libraries that extend the VX-REXX package. Initially when VX-REXX was released the expectation was that if you wanted to extend the functionality of the base package you would use SOM objects created in any language with a direct-to-SOM capability, however there was little experience of that in the development community and Watcom got repeated requests for a more conventional SDK which they delivered with this package.
