- RexxOpt - ARexx script optimizer
- Mailware © 1993-96 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 V1.8, an update to V1.7.
-
- - Source file is now closed as soon as its contents are completely read
- into memory. It's now possible to overwrite the source file with the
- optimized version without leaving a backup of the original.
- - Documention uses external file for PROXITY SOFTWORKS Information again.
- - RexxOpt is now Mailware. This means you have to send me an EMail or a
- postcard if you use RexxOpt regularly.
