    The Official Rules of The FidoNet OS2REXX Echo   
      
    The objectives of the OS2REXX echo are:   
      
    1. To provide a forum in which messages pertaining to programming in   
       REXX under OS/2 can be exchanged, without the additional traffic   
       generated by programming in other languages.   
      
    2. To provide technical support for newcomers to programming who have   
       chosen REXX as their first language.   
      
    3. To allow the discussion of the more esoteric features of REXX, as   
       implemented under OS/2.   
      
    The rules under which messages are to be exchanged in this echo are:   
      
    0. The preferred language is English, but this is not compulsory. Since   
       most of the participants will be fluent in English, any problem   
       reports will receive the widest scrutiny if they are written in   
       English.   
      
    1. Real names only. No pseudonyms, "handles", "monickers" or aliases.   
      
    2. Relevance to topic. Posts should pertain to the programming in and   
       use of REXX in the OS/2 environment. Other languages are on-topic if   
       they are being used to create REXX extension DLL's and/or REXX   
       subcommand handlers. Other platforms should only be discussed in the   
       context of their interaction with OS/2 (e.g. Client/Server) or   
       illustrating points via parallels in other platforms' implementation   
       of REXX.   
      
    3. Advertising. A maximum of 1 advertisement per month by the   
       author/publisher of software relevant to the topic of the echo will   
       be permitted. Other products must NOT be advertised.   
      
    4. No flaming or abusive language will be tolerated. Also, excessive   
       profanity is not permitted. Please remember the sensibilities of   
       others before you upload that QWK packet.   
      
    5. Let the moderator do the moderating. Do not reply to "test" messages   
       from BBSes that have just joined the echo. Do not reply to off-topic   
       messages or flames. These will all be dealt with by the moderator.   
      
    6. You may post uuencoded, xxencoded or base-64 encoded message only   
       with the prior approval of the moderator. When asking for approval   
       please state the approximate size of the message, its content and   
       usefulness to the other participants of the echo.   
      
    7. The OS/2 platform is deemed to be:   
          Native OS/2, both text and PM;   
          Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) session;   
          Virtual Machine Boot (VMB) session.   
      
       Any REXX program that will run under any of these conditions may be   
       discussed.   
      
       Note that if you need advice on how to set up a VMB image you should   
       ask in the OS2DOS echo, not OS2REXX.   
      
    These rules will be revised, amended or appended to as needs arise.   
      
    Thanks in advance for your compliance.
