The more I read on OS4 and play with MorphOS, the more certain I am that being stuck with m68k AmigaOS3.9 on various machines and UAE is the only sensible thing to do for me. I really, really wish the OS4 and MorphOS camp could concentrate on "stuff that matters" instead of constantly screwing around and breaking the user experience which defines what is Amiga. But whatever, there's really not much one can do to prevent the developers from shooting themselves in their feet.

Quote from: Karlos;541477
For AmigaDOS scripts, C:IconX. For ARexx scripts, C:Rx


Hm, no. Just use "rx"

Quote
It used to be the case that the Rx command was in SYS:Rexxc, which doesn't appear to exist any more. Check your path to the executable, mine was still pointing at SYS:Rexxc/Rx at first.


All the commands in old SYS:Rexxc are reentrant and marked pure, so they can be resident, either manually or by setting the h-flag, why people insist on accessing disk all the time is beyond me.

But then again, this being OS4 ... who knows... :crazy:
