If I had to choose right now- I guess I would choose Vispro. I actually own the
VX-REXX version and have tried the Vispro Demo. The reasons why I can't
recommend VX-REXX is that it seems to be getting buggier with every patch
issued by Watcom, and with Fixpak issued by IBM, plus you have to distribute
a dll with VX-REXX, and the cost is about $30.00 less. You can choose yourself-
fully functional demos are available through Hobbes.
VisPro Rexx or VX-Rexx ?
