Bertram, Rick is not saying that it's not possible. I'm packaging rexx code

rexx.exe or rexxhide.exe. This can be done in a .bat file for example.

Want excitement?
Manually upgrade your production database.
When you want reliability, choose Perforce
Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
