ARexx, ARexx, ARexx. 2.0 has ARexx. So, why and how do I
support ARexx?
The "Why?" has been answered elsewhere and that is not what this
article is about. Let it suffice that you should support ARexx
within your application. It is a standard that Commodore is
pushing and we hope that all new applications will have ARexx
support.
As to the "How?", that is what this article is about. We
understand that your existing software may not currently support
ARexx and that some of you may never even have looked at what is
needed to support ARexx. New applications can be designed with
ARexx support in mind and, with the advent of the AppShell by
David Junod, the work involved to support ARexx is nothing more
than what is needed to support the features within you
application. However, existing code may not move into the
AppShell to easily and you may wish to do a minor upgrade to
your application to support ARexx.
SimpleRexx is a set of routines that handle the low-level ARexx
work for you in such a way as to have your application work with
or without ARexx on the target system. The goal of SimpleRexx is
to make adding at least the minimum level of ARexx support to an
application a trivial task.
