Ok, third attempt at getting this to the list. The sourceforge mail
server migration is supposed to be complete now.

Given that this has all been rewritten anyway, I'd like a "do over" on
something I did 20 years ago. The RexxCreateQueue API will create a
new queue with a unique name if the requested name already exists. I
really don't remember why we decided to do it this way with the
original OS/2 implementation 20 years ago, but I have a vague memory
that it was something the OS/2 people wanted. Frankly, this has
generally not worked out real well. In most cases, the create
operation is called for the purposed of creating the queue if it
doesn't already exists. The current behavior means the caller need to
check the returned name and then delete the additional queue if one
was created. Generally, a pain.
I'd like to create a new version of the API (and expose it in the
RxQueue() function and the RexxQueue class) that behaves the way
people generally want this to work, which is to make sure that the
queue exists. This is fairly easy to do....the biggest hang up is
what to call the operation? The best I've come up with so far is
RexxOpenQueue(), but it's not create an open operation.
RexxGetQueue() might also work, but a Get implies something is
returned, which is not really the case.
We have an RFE for an exists operation also, so I'll probably add a
RexxQueueExists() API at the same time.
