- Short: Easy ARexx port module for AmigaE (v1.11)
- Author: Chris S Handley (cshandley-REMOVETHIS@ANDTHIS_iee.org)
- Uploader: Chris S Handley (cshandley-REMOVETHIS@ANDTHIS_iee.org)
- Version: v1.11
- Type: dev/e
- Requires: rexxsyslib.library, AmigaE v3.x
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- This is a fairly easy to use module for AmigaE which allows you to communicate
- using an ARexxPort. It is infact OO (Object Orientated), but if you don't know
- about OO don't worry - AmigaE makes OO dead easy.
-
- You could probably do ok by just altering the supplied example program. But
- read the docs anyway, as there are unfortunately still a few subtleties.
-
- Although it appears to work well, I should point out that it has not been
- heavily tested yet. That will only happen when either I (or someone else!)
- writes a proper program that uses it a lot - this probably won't ever happen.
-
-
- NOTE: Having finally looked at the ARexx documentation in the RKMs, it is clear
- that even with all my improvements, there are still many limitations which
- ARexxComm has inherited. Fixing the limitions would require a complete rewrite,
- which I will not do. As such, I can no-longer recommend that ARexxComm be used,
- except for very simple programs!

- History
- -------
- v1.11(22-08-02) -Updated docs on the (lack of) future for ARexxComm.
- -Added anti-spam stuff to email address :(
- v1.1 (21-03-99) -Fixed crash caused by closing port before it had recieved all
- acknowledgements.
- -Change behaviour of createPort() so that you can actually know
- that a port was not created without using exceptions - you MUST
- re-read how to use it! Example programs were totally wrong!
- -Improved docs slightly.
