ARexx Function Host Module and Demo
Version 1.2
This is a module which facilitates creating your own ARexx function
hosts. This module will handle all of the detail work involved. All
that your module needs to do is define some static data, an array of
info about the functions, and the functions themselves.
Why a function host? Mainly because these seem a bit easier to
debug and to implement in 'C'. But there probably isn't much that
a function host can do that a function library couldn't. One example
that would be more difficult to do with a library is the scrollback
window in my "report_host" program.
This *might* compile under Aztec, if you remove all of the prototype
stuff, and of course change the makefile, but it is written under
Lattice 5.02.
The best way to use this is to probably modify the rh_demo.c file
with your own functions.
------------- Changes in Version 1.2 ---------------
The only significant change is to add support for client code which
needs to Wait() on some event. See the client_event_flags variable and
the client_event_handler() function.
