Downloading NetRexx 1.00 packages

NetRexx packages are available in both zip and tar+compress format. The packages available are:

  1. NetRexx: Toolkit and online documentation:
  2. NetRexxD: Documentation in printable (PostScript) form:

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:


Toolkit download and installation

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.

  1. Download the NetRexx 1.00 package [18 Feb 1997].
    Choose either:
  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Printable documentation download and use

  1. Download the NetRexx 1.00 print package [17 Feb 1997].
    Choose either:
  2. 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.

  3. 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).
