This is an example of a REXX Executable Library (REXX-X Lib).
The purpose of a REXX-X Lib is to combine a group, up to 50, of
REXX programs into one executable file, thus creating a Library.
Once a REXX-X Lib is created any of the individual programs may
be executed. This is accomplished by passing the name of the
REXX program as the first argument to the REXX-X Lib program.
Example: To call the DIFFTIME.CMD REXX program contained within
the REXX-X Lib, RXLIB1.EXE:
RXLIB1 DIFFTIME 11:00:00 19:21:00
To call the SETICON.CMD REXX program contained within
the REXX-X Lib, RXLIB1.EXE:
RXLIB1 SETICON myprog.exe cool.ico
When a REXX-X Lib program is run without any arguments, the list
of all available REXX progams will be displayed. Unless a help
file has been associated with the REXX-X Lib, in which case it
will be displayed.
This program was created with the retail product RXCL.EXE ($20 US).
The following command line was used:
RXCL /n RXLIB1.EXE /h RXLIB1.HLP difftime.cmd delay.cmd setea.cmd
dspea.cmd seticon.cmd
