Watcom's VX-REXX was a popular visual REXX application development tool for OS/2. Despite the fact its last release dates back to 1995 it is still used for many tools and applications in eComStation.

This page is intended to become the source for many open-source projects from the past, the present and the future, which are based upon VX-REXX.

In addition it should become a resource for tools, extensions and information around VX-REXX.
