A visual development environment for creating OS/2 applications with graphical user interfaces. It includes a project management facility, visual designer and an interactive source level debugger. Version 2.1 introduced the VX*REXX Client/Server Edition forclient/serverGUI application development on OS/2 by incorporating databaseobjects. Using IBM' s DRDA support on OS/2, users can access DB2forMVS, DB2/400 forAS/400, and DB2/VSE and VM (SQL/DS) forVM and VSE. Also supported are Watcom SQL and ODBC-enabled databases. Since the VX*REXX visual development environment is based on IBM' s object-orientedSOM technology, VX*REXX applications are open and extensible through the addition of new SOM objects. (1995-04-18)
