Line 189:
<br>1. You never complained when I added a Rexx program in the REXX section (new or alternate version).
<br>2. You complained when I (once) used there a feature not supported in '''Classic''' Rexx (thanks).
<br>3. Modifying all current REXX programs to be accepted by ooRexx would be a huge effort (
<br>4. Entering the modified versions in the ooRexx section would make ooRexx' rank larger than Rexx' but introduce lots of redundancy.
<br>5. '''Classic''' Rexx means different things to different people (I know of at least two).
<br>6. Ideally all interpreters give the same result for a program (apart from the interpreter's or compiler's version, of course).
<br>7. Adding output for a program from several interpreters makes sense when they differ (e.g., the RANDOM and JUSTIFY bifs of REXX).
Line 199:
<br>11. ooRexx is not fully upward compatible with Classic Rexx but to a large extent.
<br>12. Programs that obey a list of restrictions (by not using features no longer existant in ooRexx) yield identical results for both.
