- RexxOpt - ARexx script optimizer
- Freeware © 1993-95 by Proxity Softworks
-
- RexxOpt optimizes your ARexx scripts by removing all information not
- necessary. This results in a faster execution speed, making working with
- ARexx much more comfortable.
-
- When run in default mode (no switch given in command line) the following is
- done:
-
- - all unnecessary blank characters (ASCII 9, 32 and 160) are removed
- - all comments are removed
- - consecutive strings are merge to one single string
- - ; is inserted in front of any DO within the script
- - all blank characters outside strings and comments are replaced by
- <space> (ASCII 32)
- - all (remaining) lines are put into one single line
- - a new comment line is put in front of the script because ARexx requires
- a script to begin with a comment.
-
- This is V1.7, an update to V1.6.
-
- Changes:
-
- - New switch DEOPT: (re)insert linefeeds
- - Minor code optimization concerning nested comments
- - New switch FIRSTCOMMENT: Don't strip first comment
- - Filehandling rewritten: it is no longer necessary to provide a
- destination filename. This introduced some new error messages and
- made some of the old obsolete.
- - Titlecomment and filecomment are now set according to current mode
- (optimize/deoptimize).
