You are invited to attend The 10th International Rexx Symposium in Jacksonville, Florida this year. The Rexx Symposium provides a focal point for the exchange of technical information and software solutions provided by the Rexx family of programming languages.

The program will span the full range of platforms on which the Rexx languages are implemented, including Windows, Unix and Linux, as well as all IBM operating systems.
