:: I refrained from using lastpos since the (classic?) Rexx on the host does not have it. Is version 2 that you refer to "my way" modified as noted above? Are your final versions 1 & 2 available somewhere? I had to look up vestigual (limited English) - it should have been vestigial:-) --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 06:35, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
::: Yes, the REXX version 2 (as mentioned above) is a cumulative modification of the original, that is, the 3rd optimization is the changed 2nd optimization. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:19, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
::: (about the misspelling of ''vestigial''): I had did a quite web check and found many hits on ''vestigual'', but I saw the answers to a question and thought that was the correct spelling. At least, I'm not alone in misspelling that word: Vestigial Vsetigial Vesitgial Veetigial Veatigial Vedtigial Vewtigial Vextigial Vesrigial Vesgigial Vesyigial Vestogial Vestugial Vestkgial Vestirial Vestinial Vestitial Vestihial Vestibial Vestifial Vestigoal Vestigual Vestigkal Vestigisl Vestigizl Vestigiql Vestigiap Vestigiam Vestigiak --- that word must hold some kind of record in the number of ways to misspell a word. But I got almost all of the letters right. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:19, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
::: Are you sure about the '''lastpos''' BIF not being available in (your) host's version of REXX? It's been around in REXX at least since 1984 (according to a VM System Product Interpreter Reference Summary), long before it was ported to MVS (or whatever it's being called now). Which host (and release) are you using? I didn't post any of REXX version 2 programs since you signed your name to it, and I didn't want to publish various versions of it, as it would appear that you were the author, and it didn't seem worth all the bother to include disclaimers and whatnot, and I had so many versions. I was just fooling around and was squeezing blood from a turnip trying to get more performance out of the program. I probably could get more performance out of it, but I got tired shoveling all that coal, and I had to add more code to handle a special case of long words. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 07:28, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
