Re: [Oorexx-devel] BSF4Rexx and ooRexx 4.0 : (tiny) adjustments needed - and a bug in rxapi.exe ?

[Rick M. <obj...@gm...>]

Neither of those APIs should be necessary in 4.0.  RexxStart will now
behave the way it should always have behaved and wait for all threads
started by the executed program to terminate.  I hadn't realized those
APIs had actually been documented.  I think I'll need to add back in
some stubbed replacements that just return immediately and document
them as deprecated.
