Installation of NetRexx Executables


The NetRexx package includes two packages of software (each will have the same suffix as the package you unpacked it from, nrexx.zip or nrexx.tar.gz):

  1. nrclass -- the Java .class files that implement the Rexx string class provided by NetRexx. These class files should work with any Java toolkit (beta or 1.x).
  2. nros2 -- the prototype NetRexx translator and class files, for OS/2. This package includes the files in nrclass (i.e., you do not need to install both packages.

To write your own NetRexx programs and then compile and run them you need to install the nros2 package. In time, it is intended that the translator will be ported to NetRexx -- at that point it should run on any platform that supports the Java runtime.

To install and use either of these packages, you must have already installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) at either the beta or 1.x level. For more information on these:
