- There are several libraries that help greatly. The following files are on
- aminet sites:
-
- RexxIntuition.lha util/rexx 43K Some Intuition aids callable from ARexx
- RexxReqTools.lha util/rexx 65K 1.3 - requester for ARexx
- Rxgen.lha util/rexx 17K Call other library functions from ARexx
- ZedREXX.lha util/rexx 108K Easily add GUI to any REXX script. V1.0c
-
- The RexxIntuition archive includes the rx_intui.library, good docs, and
- some example scripts. I've used the rx_intui.library for gadgets and
- windows, and RexxReqTools for file requesters. I've not tried RxGen or
- ZedRexx.
-
- I'm not sure about the versions of RexxReqTools. There's also a version
- 2.1c and a 37.95 floating around on BBSs. I don't know if they do or
- don't indicate which WB they are suitable for. It would probably be
- advisable to check you get a version suitable for your Workbench version
- - maybe by checking the readme files. I'm using 37.95 with Workbench
- 3.04.
