While it is not that hard to craft Rexx source that runs with ooRexx, it is much harder and often impossible using NetRexx - there a universal source would be a rare sight. Some in the NetRexx community regard it as a different language altogether - I am not necessarily in agreement with that. When Object Oriented sourcecode is used, the program is not compatible to Classic Rexx.
The previous I consider facts. These facts bring me to the opinion that most NetRexx should be in its own language category, and only procedural code can be shared by ooRexx and Classic Rexx. Conversely, when someone crafts an ooRexx sample, it should show off the oo facilities and class libraries and not be gratuitously incompatible to Classic Rexx. As an addition, a Classic Rexx sample that can be compatible with ooRexx should not use the corner cases in which it isn't.
