Line 163:
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.

Actually we want to get to an agreement where to place Rexx code in this wiki.
Here are my thoughts:
Category ooRexx should contain only programs using oo-Features! (i.e. directives)
There could either be a general statement on top of ooRexx:
All programs under category REXX can be run with ooRexx
either unchanged (e.g., 24 game,...)
or when modified according to these descriptions. (e.g., Catalan numbers uses # in cat#)
OR
for every applicable task there may be an entry in ooRexx with either one of these sentences:
(1) The program under category Rexx can be run unchanged with ooRexx
(2) The program under category Rexx can be run with ooRexx
when modified according to these descriptions (e.g., Catalan numbers change cat# to cat_nr)
OR the modified program could be put into category ooRexx
(I wouldn't like this duplication in the wrong place)
OR the modified program could be put as version 2 in category REXX
if the author of the current version does not want to change it
for the sake of compatibility/portability (e.g., identity matrix)
Please voice your opinion!
