The primary user group that addresses Rexx in all its forms is the Rexx Language Association. The Rexx LA is an international organization with worldwide membership and is open to everyone. The Rexx LA home page is at www.rexxla.org. The home page provides a wealth of information on the Rexx language, including standards, FAQs, contacts, the newsletter, and the annual Rexx symposium. It also has many links to the home pages of various Rexx interpreters, tools, packages, books, technical articles, and other informational resources.
