REXXPC88 is a REXX interpreter for the IBM Personal Computer originally developed by Derek Lieber and later updated by Sam Detweiler. It runs as an extension to the DOS command interpreter (COMMAND.COM) and accepts a program control language identical to (a subset of) the REXX language available on IBM mainframe computers (REXX370).

REXXPC88 programs have a file type of .BAT, the same as the standard batch files recognized by DOS, but are distinguished by the first character of the file, which must be the slash (/) of a comment or the header of a bi-lingual program (:). REXXPC88 programs may execute other programs recursively in contrast to usual DOS batch programs that may not be nested.
