Subject:	SCOUG-General: Re: REXX .cmd files from "Teach Yourself REXX in 21 Days"

Content Type: text/plain

You guys piqued my interest.

I got out both REXX books, "Teach Yourself..." & "Down to Earth..."
but there was no accompanying media. I did find the receipt from
Super Crown dated 03/14/97 for $27.34. And a password to Ziff Davis
University.

I found several WEB references to a .zip of the .cmd files, purportedly
on Hobbes, but could not find a copy. The filename may be: TYSR21.ZIP

And I found this 11/96 post on the University of Georgia REXXLIST archives:

"The files LIST1705.CMD and LIST1706.CMD in the file TYSR21.ZIP, which
are examples from the book Teach Yourself REXX In 21 Days (ISBN 0-672-30529-1),
may be useful if you don't have access to any other documentation.
TYSR21.ZIP doesn't come with the book, so you'll have to find it
elsewhere (I don't know a FTP site, try sites like www.filez.com
(OS/2-aware) to find copies of it). Ave, Andre Doff "

If a .zip of the .cmd files does exist, I'd sure like a copy. Perhaps
they should/could be posted somewhere like Hobbes (with permission),
to help insure they're not lost to the community. I'm still
hoping to actually learn REXX (as opposed to dabble, hack, etc.).
