Short: Regina (GNU Rexx  Interpreter)
EMail: Matthew J Fletcher <amimjf@connectfree.co.uk>
Version: 2.0

INTRO:
The version numbering of Regina has changed.  Anders' original intent
was for Regina to be released as version 1.0 when it achieved
100% ANSI Compliance.  I originally concurred with this approach
by releasing the 0.08 series, but with this release, Regina has
changed internally sufficient to warrant a major version number
change.  By continuing to release version numbers of 0.xx, the
implications are that Regina is not a mature product. Obviously,
this is not the case, and rather than confuse the situation and
release a version 1.0, version 2.0 was decided upon.
Anders is aware of the change and is happy with the change
provided there is no confusion with users. Hopefully that isn't
the case.

If you want to see how the amiga version performs on your machine
or on other platforms, just try this.  /rexx.00 demo/rexxcps.rexx

I got (under vp amigaos1.0)
Performance: 278121 REXX clauses per second 

and (under linux 2.2.15)
Performance: 382811 REXX clauses per second  

With a 500mhz K6-2, and -O2 optimisation.

Building
-----------
Use the elate specific makefile i created, make -f Makefile.elate
and it will build just like it does under linux etc.

There is a file of emulated routines (from ixemulng) in elate.c,
and i have had to #ifdef __ELATE__ in a few places to deal with
problems that are common to now unix machines.

Please have patience.....
