I've been using Vispro/Rexx since the first version and I have
changed from Vrexx to Vispro, too. I haven't used VXREXX much,
but every time there has been problems with different  dll
versions.
 
Vispro doesn't have all special features of VXREXX (like sending
any characters to any window), but it is very stable and easy to use.
Self-contained exe files are normally 170 - 300kB which is far less
than 700Kb vxrexx dll.
