using this as keyword and a well known search engine,
I found a REXX (from a french site), which I will try tomorrow.

This could be of interest to others, so here is the REXX (unedited, no warranty),
including some original french comments:

A link, instead of copying the code, would have been better. If the code hasn't been marked as free to use and copy, this is a possible copyright violation. Just as bad, the person who wrote this code has gotten no recognition for it, which is a probable violation even if it was covered by a Creative Commons license. And, if the coder improves the program, people who take the code from IBM-Main will not have those improvements.

I like the idea of having code where it can be found. A few programs on the CBT tape are mine. But I *chose* to submit them, and they have my name on them. Just because it's on the Internet does not mean it's not copyright.

OTOH, I congratulate you on finding this code, and thank you for letting us all know it exists.
