<br>There're different REXX interpreters, and most likely, for one reason (the main reason?) at least, is that the (at one time) only REXX interpreter wasn't available for mostother platforms, and there was an apparent need (or desire) to have a REXX interpreter on DOS. I believe that's why the first non-IBM version (PC/REXX?) was written (--- to make REXX available for the PC -- but it was bundled with KEDIT and that made the reasons a little murkey in retrospect, part of KEDIT's (an XEDIT wannabe) flexability and useability was using REXX as it's macro language). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 
The two main objectives of (classic Rexx) Regina are to "become 100% compliant with the ANSI Standard, and be available on as many platforms as possible". I'm sure that there are other (secondary) reasons as well for the various REXX interpreters. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
