-----------------------------GpfRexx Read Me file--------------------------------
This file contains information regarding GpfRexx product and
documentation changes that have occurred to late to meet
hardcopy production lead time.
When modifications or enhancements to GpfRexx are urgent or
especialy useful, our choice is to include them in the
production code as soon as they have been thoroughly tested.
This insures that every user receives the latest version of the
product at the time of purchase. The downside of this policy is
that the printed documentation may not always be at the same
level as the shipping version of the software. In practice,
this is often the case.
The online documentation, on the other hand, is generally
updated simultaneously with the code. In the rare case when
this does not happen, notes explaining any new features will be
found here.
IMPORTANT: In the event of discrepensies between the printed
documentation and the online documentation or help, assume the
online information is the most current. This file will contain
information relating to the latest changes and, if needed,
information omitted even from the online information.
NOTE: OS/2 2.11 (OS/2 2.1 + SP, CSD level XR06200) GpfRexx level 10
and above contain code specifically intended to circumvent container
paint problems (IBM APAR PJ12571) introduced in this version of OS/2.
Other changes in this level of MMPM may cause difficulties with certain
MMPM video examples included with GpfRexx. Unless your environment
requires fixes provided by this CSD level (XR06200), our recommendation
is not to install it.
