Oh no, I didn't mean to impugn Regina at all. I last saw it long ago
(1996?), and gave up on it real quickly. I fuzzily recall that it only
seemed like a close cousin to the IBM Rexx dialects. Many OS/2, TSO, and
CMS execs I'd written broke in unexpected places -- IIRC, only the most
trivial execs ported to Regina verbatim. At the time, I was trying to avoid
investing a lot of time learning shell scripting ... this experience made
me give in and learn it. I haven't looked at Regina since.

As I said, I'm nobody to judge Regina -- I don't have enough current
experience with it. From the sounds of it, if something as complex as B2H
will port verbatim, the situation has changed dramatically.
