- ARexx, ARexx, ARexx. 2.0 has ARexx. So, why and how do I
- support ARexx?
-
- The "Why?" has been answered elsewhere and that is not what this
- article is about. Let it suffice that you should support ARexx
- within your application. It is a standard that Commodore is
- pushing and we hope that all new applications will have ARexx
- support.
-
- As to the "How?", that is what this article is about. We
- understand that your existing software may not currently support
- ARexx and that some of you may never even have looked at what is
- needed to support ARexx. New applications can be designed with
- ARexx support in mind and, with the advent of the AppShell by
- David Junod, the work involved to support ARexx is nothing more
- than what is needed to support the features within you
- application. However, existing code may not move into the
- AppShell to easily and you may wish to do a minor upgrade to
- your application to support ARexx.
-
- SimpleRexx is a set of routines that handle the low-level ARexx
- work for you in such a way as to have your application work with
- or without ARexx on the target system. The goal of SimpleRexx is
- to make adding at least the minimum level of ARexx support to an
- application a trivial task.
