Installation of NetRexx Executables

The NetRexx package includes two packages of software (each will have the same suffix as the package you unpacked it from, that is, '.zip' or '.tar.Z'):

1. nrtools -- the files for the NetRexx compiler, of which the most important is NetRexxC.zip, which contains the Java .class files that implement the compiler. The NetRexx compiler is in fact a translator; it translates NetRexx programs to Java source code, which is then compiled using the javac compiler (or you can use the Java compiler of your choice, if you prefer). This package requires that the Java toolkit (1.1.0 or later) be installed.

   nrtools also includes a separate copy of the NetRexx runtime classes, in NetRexxR.zip

2. nrping -- the Pinger sample application. Please see Pinger.htm for information about this.

To install and use either of these packages, you must have already installed the Java Development Kit (JDK) runtime (and toolkit, if you want to compile NetRexx programs). For more information on these:

• For OS/2, AIX, and other IBM operating systems, Java is probably already installed with our operating system. If not, see the IBM Centre for Java Technology page at:

  http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/hurindex.html

• For other operating systems, see the Sun Microsystems Java page at http://www.javasoft.com, or other suppliers of Java toolkits.
