compiler. This should work on all platforms that can run the Java
toolkit and compiler.
- NetRexxD:

The NetRexx documentation and software are distributed free of charge
under the conditions of the IBM Employee-Written Software program.
If you download or use a NetRexx package you agree to the terms
in the IBM License Agreement for
Employee-Written Software. Please read it before downloading.
To view the online documentation you need a text editor or a Web
browser.
To run the software, you will need the Java runtime and toolkit (from
the 1.x Java development kit) installed on your target machine.
For more information on these:
Please note: if you installed
NetRexx 0.88 (or an earlier version) please remove or rename the
'netrexx' directory under the Java 'classes' directory -- or wherever
you put the NetRexx classes -- before installing later versions of
NetRexx, and then follow the new installation instructions.
- Download the NetRexx 1.00 package [18 Feb 1997].
Choose either:
- Unpack the file you downloaded (a new directory called 'NetRexx'
should be created by this).
Note that the package contains subdirectories and files with "long
names". All names may be case-sensitive. Detailed instructions
are available in the installation
instructions; please read these before installing.
You can also extract the installation instructions as the file
nrinst.doc from the package you downloaded.
- Once unpacked into a directory, you can view all the NetRexx
documentation locally by pointing your Web browser at the 'root'
documentation file netrexx.htm, or browse the files that have
.doc as their file extension/type.
- To use the NetRexx compiler or the NetRexx class files, you'll need
to unpack the nrtools.zip or
nrtools.tar.Z files included within the NetRexx
package.
Again, please see the installation
instructions.
- Download the NetRexx 1.00 print package [17 Feb 1997].
Choose either:
- Unpack the file you downloaded (a separate directory is
recommended).
Detailed instructions on unpacking are available in the installation instructions; please read these
if you are unsure of how to unpack the file, or if you have any
problems.
You can also extract the installation instructions from the
NetRexx package, as the file
nrinst.doc.
- Once unpacked into a directory, you can print any files in the new
NetRexxD directory on any PostScript printer, or view them with a
PostScript viewer (such as GhostScript).
