This may be true, but this does not mean the OREXX DLL can not be used.
This is OS/2. IBM often does things for non-obvious reasons. If you look
at the list of functions in the OREXX DLL, it's clear that few of them
depend on the REXX interpreter to work correctly.

>Thanks for the list.

You can pull a similar list from the Classic REXX DLL. FWIW, it too
contains SysStemSort.

Possibly. The DLL you care about is REXXUTIL.DLL. The supported function
list is near the end. I use strings to extra this kind of stuff, but you
can use EPM.

>My notes show approximate dates for FP14 as May 2000 and FP 15 as Jan

Sure. Of course if you are concerned FP15 might cause you problems, you
only need to install REXXUTIL.DLL.

>is there a simple way
>to extract just the *REX*.DLL files from each one

Sure. Use unpack.exe
