   1)  Does anyone know of any software (commercial or otherwise) which deals
   with this type of process?

Well, there's both TCL and PERL for doing this kind of stuff, but it's
hard to know which is best for you since we don't know much about your
problem.  If it's a fairly general task, I'm pretty sure you could get
it done in either.  TCLX (eXtended TCL) would be my personal choice.

   2)  What options are there for running REXX scripts under either MS-DOS or
   (preferably) FreeBSD?

You might look on cs.huji.ac.il:~ftp/pub/languages/rexx/alrexx

There's also some sort of REXX on many of the Linux sites - I'm sure
it'd be an easy port.

Good luck..
