in thread Perl Scripts on systems without perl environments.

Size and support software. Perl requires EMX. EMX requires some other stuff. Installation nightmare.

I don't speak c. I am a generalist not a programmer. Scripting I know.

    Skip, that's just one ugly statement. That's like saying, I don't speak French. I am a person not a linguist. English I know. WTF? Good development practices and techniques are just that - the language is not relevant.

    That being said, being a cargo-culting in a scripting language is much easier than a compiled one

      When all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. The job is mine. I will do my best to solve it with the tools that I have.

      That being said, the problem is one that Perl is well suited for. Rexx would be as well. The difficulty comes in the environment available.

      By the way, have you looked for a vaguely up to date c compiler for OS/2? They are pretty rare as well.
