Is rexx a good scripting language for NT? 2

[mojo]

Getting an NT server to support. Need a scheduling and scripting environment to automate tasks. Suggestions have included perl, rexx, tcl, python, WSH with VB scripting edition and WSH with jscript.

Any pro's or cons on these. [sig][/sig]

Actually I was hoping that others would have responded by now...

REXX is an excellent scripting language... however it has some limitations on the PC... namely it is not free on a windows platform (as best as I can tell) unlike both Tcl and Perl...

I'm using a version of REXXX named REGINA REXX. IT's free and works fine in W2000 and NT. I/O are handle differently than I'm use to with MVS. Otherwise it's very similar to REXX on VM and MVS.

Thanks akerray I guess Regina is competition to IBM's REXX. They want $150(US) for a developer's package.

If you use Objrexx on Windoze, you'll never write another BAT thing.
