If you write applets for the World Wide Web (or your intranet) in NetRexx, you will probably need to use the NetRexx classes (netrexx.lang.Rexx, etc.); they will be used automatically if the default compilation options (specifically, options nobinary) are in effect.
A good way of setting up an HTTP (Web) server for this is to keep all your applets in one subdirectory; you can then make the NetRexx runtime classes (that is, the classes in the package known by Java as netrexx.lang) available to all the applets by unzipping NetRexxR.zip into a subdirectory netrexx/lang below your applets directory.
For example, if the root of your server tree is
D:/mydata
then you might put your applets into
D:/mydata/applets
and then the NetRexx classes (unzipped from NetRexxR.zip) should be in the directory
D:/mydata/applets/netrexx/lang
The same principle is applied if you have any other Java packages that you want to make available to your applets: the classes in a package called fred.math.quicksorts would go in a subdirectory below applets called fred/math/quicksorts, for example.
Note that with Java 1.1 it should be possible to use the classes direct from the NetRexxR.zip file (which is in fact a Java 'jar' file), providing that the browser being used is at a Java 1.1 level. See the Java 1.1 documentation for details.
