Product Description and Ordering Information.

The REXX Cookbook is a unique tutorial designed to teach anyone, even
non-programmers, to program in REXX by presenting detailed explanations of
over 40 useful REXX programs. These programs and several more are on the
companion disk THE REXX FILES. Those who have experienced the frustration
of trying to write real world code after finding only fragmentary examples
in reference books will really appreciate the programs in this book.

Charles Daney of Quercus Systems and author of Programming in REXX,
published by McGraw Hill, had this to say to Mr. Callaway after he
reviewed it:

"I was really impressed with the amount of work you put in on this. It's
one of the most detailed computer books I've ever seen, and not just
trivial detail either, but good solid information. And some of your
examples are among the best I've seen anywhere. The stuff on PostScript,
SQL, DB2/2, AmiPro, etc. should be really valuable to many."

Callaway works from the premise that reference books on programming have
too high a degree of abstraction and generalization to be tutorials, since
they attempt to cover every case for every instruction.  Learners must
decipher templates and syntax diagrams rather than view explicit code in
the context of a complete, concrete program.  His book makes learning REXX
far easier than ever before, because readers can see actual code used and
explained in context. It is a bonus that the book's programs are so useful
in their own right. There was as much software development as writing to
produce this book. For instance one example project is an Inter-Process
Control REXX program that combines VX-REXX by WATCOM, REXX and DB2/2 by
IBM, and AmiPro by Lotus Development.

Another unique program uses REXX and PostScript together to print envelopes
quickly without needing to open a word processor.  It even keeps a
database of your personal addresses handy. There are some essential system
utility programs to back up your .INI files, some EPM and TSPF editor
macros, and even a program to teach you how to use the parse instruction.
The level of difficulty is graduated so the book is suitable for beginners
and experts alike. Everyone will find useful REXX code in The REXX
Cookbook. Combined with any standard or online REXX reference, it rounds
out a COMPLETE COURSE in REXX FLUENCY. Callaway says, "The REXX Cookbook
is the very book I wished I'd had when I was learning to program in
REXX!"

The REXX Cookbook is OS/2 ACCREDITED.
