LOL, yeah, thats a good point. But with a 40GB drive (a monster even for AOS 3.9) I suppose it wouldn't be too bad. But AREXX is lightweight, and does what it was designed to do. (AFAIK, swapping data between apps, and simple scripts to automate mundane tasks like the one that started this surprisingly lengthy thread) Though adding an AREXX port to python would be an interesting approach, and would allow for much more complicated daemons, and perhaps a sophisticated data port management system, though I'm having trouble finding a good use for that amount of power given the limitations of many programs AREXX interfaces. I would LOVE to have an AREXX port in AmigaWriter, which I use for school alot, my homework being hosted on a website in HTML. Python I suppose could be used to decode the HTML, and "manually" enter the formatting into an AREXX enabled word processor, making my life that much easier. Though the same could be done in AREXX, the code would be rather chaotic and a pain to manage. I'd probably end up writing a ton of C code, and using the "address command" function alot.
