			THE AREXX APPLICATION LIST
		      (for Commodore Amiga computers)

		       Maintained by Daniel Barrett
		           barrett@cs.umass.edu
		      Last Updated:  August 31, 1992
		           180 products listed!

	This is a list of computer programs for the Commodore Amiga that
support the ARexx interprocess communication language.  Using ARexx,
you can cause these programs to interact with each other, control each
other, share data, and other useful things.

	This list does not describe products in detail.  It does not rate
them or review them.  It does not list the authors' addresses.  However, it
does provide the names and brief descriptions of many, many ARexx-compatible
products.  If you need more information on a product, consult Amiga
magazines, USENET, or a product guide like AC's GUIDE TO THE COMMODORE AMIGA
which is published quarterly in the USA by PiM Publications.

	This document is updated monthly and posted in the USENET newsgroup
comp.sys.amiga.applications.

	I have listed all the ARexx products I know, but many entries
are incomplete, and I've certainly missed some products.  If you use
any of these products, or know of some new ones, please send me the
information!  I am also interested in suggestions to improve this list.
(See submission instructions at the end.)

HOW TO READ THE LIST

	The information about each product includes:

	Product name:		The name of the product.
	Product version:	The version number of the program.
				Since version numbers are constantly
				changing, the only guarantee you have is
				that this version DOES support ARexx.
				It is also extremely likely that any
				version with a higher number also supports
				ARexx.
	Product type:		What kind of product is this?
				Results are in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS so
				you can search for topics more consistently.
	Author:			The author's name.
	Status:			Commercial?  Freeware?  Shareware? ...
	Port name:		The name of the ARexx port.
	Number of commands:	How many ARexx commands are supported.
	Executes scripts by:	A description of how ARexx is used from
				INSIDE THE PROGRAM.  (We assume that every
				ARexx application can be invoked from
				OUTSIDE the program.)  Examples are:
				function keys, macro filename from a file
				requester, any key, mouse click, etc.
				If the program cannot invoke scripts,
				then the entry is "External control only."
	Notes:			Brief but important information.

	Rather than printing the list, I suggest that you keep it on-line.
Use your text editor or some "searching" programs (like "grep" or "search")
to find items of interest quickly.  For example, to find ARexx-compatible
text editors, search for the word EDITOR.

	The products are listed alphabetically in three categories:

	(1)	Applications that support ARexx
	(2)	Collections of ARexx scripts
	(3)	Utilities for ARexx programmers (function libraries, etc.)
