"This is a cross-platform application framework that was designed to make it easy to create dynamic applications with a modern interface, and was modeled after the GTK library.

The framework now supports almost all Presentation Manager's widgets, following Packing Boxes technology, typical of Toolkit GTK, it has a module for creating graphical user interfaces using XML to manage widget and has a programming interface 100% compatible with the following Rexx interpreters (RexxDW):

  • IBM & IBM Object Rexx Rexx (OS/2, Unix/Linux and derivatives)
  • Regina Rexx (OS/2, MS Windows, Unix/Linux and derivatives, including Mac OSX)
  • Quercus Personal Rexx Systems (MS Windows)
  • Enterprise Rexx (MS Windows)

equating RexxDW to other similar software as Doctor Dialog, Watcom VX-Rexx, VisPro/REXX or Visual REXX and allowing also portability of C, C++ and Rexx code, leaving then see a huge potential.

Since Dynamic Windows is a still in progress framework (there are not still some controls, functionality to aid in creation of signal handlers with their appropriate prototypes and casting automatically and maybe an IDE to integrate all components), using it is not the most intuitive and requires advanced knowledge; however the documentation is comprehensive and with many examples."
