From what you say, and based on the inference that Object is going to be backwards compatible for routines written in Classical -- but NOT vice-versa -- is
there any possible reason *against* making this changeover ? I was not aware that this stuff was all (apparently) included, previously being under the
impression that one had to go out and purchase Object REXX separately. If it's already there, or free for download somewhere, that would make it easy.
